Preparing for Your Vitamin-therapy Appointment
Treatment Safety & Local Regulations
There are no NICE guidelines supporting routine IV vitamin therapy for wellness. NICE and NHS guidance focus on diagnosing and treating deficiencies appropriately. MHRA regulates injectable products used. Vitamin therapy sits in a grey zone where evidence matters more than marketing. Anyway, still figuring it out. But honestly, eating well most days does more than most drips.
Local regulatory authority:
- Care Quality Commission (CQC)
- General Medical Council (GMC)
Private insurance usage locally:
- High relative to national average due to older affluent demographic
