The Flu Fighter
IMPORTANT NOTES AND EXCLUSIONS FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
​​
The Flu Fighter is Rapid Recovery's cold and flu drip that's loaded with 5 grams of Vitamin C (anti-inflammatory), zinc (for nasal symptoms), a non-narcotic pain reliever, and a less-drowsy antihistamine, and way more. Wow... That's the trick to Feel Better Faster when you are suffering from a cold or the flu.
​​
The Flu Fighter base is a full liter of Ringer's Lactate, which contains calcium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium lactate, and potassium chloride, all important electrolytes.
​​​
From that base we infuse Vitamin C. We add 5g of the strong anti-inflammatory vitamin. It's great for any inflammation in your respiratory system.
​​​
​​​​​Next we include 5 grams of zinc, which is being included
in most medical facilities' Covid treatments, and is
clinically shown to reduce the severity and duration of
colds and the flu.
​​
​​​You're almost surely experiencing some muscle aches, so we
add ketorolac (Toradol) to ease the ache from coughing
and sneezing, and help relieve any headache you might have.
​​
​Last for the IV, but surely not least, we infuse your IV with
an antihistamine (famotidine), to get rid of that congestion.
​​​​
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, often referred to as the "mother of all antioxidants", and your body is
less effective at producing it during a cold or flu. We push 500mg at the end of your IV to boost your levels and help prevent replication of your virus.
​
Sounds like that's enough, but we don't stop. You're likely having trouble breathing, so to make sure your oxygen saturation level stays where we want it you'll get 30 minutes of medical grade oxygen, and before you leave we're going to give you a 25,000iu Vitamin D3 injection to boost up your immune system!
​​​
If you're currently experiencing nausea we can also add Zofran to your bag for a small extra charge.
​
Obviously no IV drip can "cure" a cold or the flu, but the Flu Fighter is a heavyweight that can certainly help you TKO your symptoms and Feel Better Faster, and with any luck your body will fight off the virus before the effects of this powerful IV wear off.​​

PLEASE NOTE:
​​
The Flu Fighter contains an antihistamine (famotidine) which may cause drowsiness. It is best to have transportation to and from the office when receiving The Flu Fighter. If you are responsible for your own transportation please be certain that you are alert enough to operate a vehicle before leaving the office!
NOTE ALSO:
​
Vitamin C has a similar chemical structure to glucose, as both contain 6 carbon atoms and are considered "simple sugars". Glucometers (including continuous glucose monitors - CGMs), FREQUENTLY misinterpret Vitamin C molecules as glucose, and give a false, high reading following IV vitamin C infusion. This effect can last up to six (6) hours.
With that in mind, it is VERY important that insulin dependent diabetics NOT administer insulin in excess of their scheduled treatment, as dangerous hypoglycemia can result.
