What is in a Myers' Cocktail IV Infusion?

It’s happened to us all. We wake up on an important day when we don’t have time to be sick, only to notice a tickle in the back of our throats, a stuffy nose, or another symptom, indicating that an unwanted illness may not be far behind. What can you do at these times? Is there anything that can help increase your chances of staying healthy — and fast? 

IV drips offer quick solutions to common problems such as hangovers, dehydration, and, yes, the common cold. The Myers’ cocktail, a tried-and-true elixir that can be administered via drip, can help you stave off illness and feel better quickly. But before you receive this treatment, you probably have a simple question: what’s actually in it? 

At Schaumburg Immediate Care, we offer IV drip options for fast relief from ordinary ailments. The Myers’ cocktail, which is available in clinics worldwide, is one of our most popular options, offering a safe and effective treatment for potential illnesses, as well as a helpful combination of ingredients for managing certain chronic conditions. 

Myers’ cocktail: where it comes from and what’s in it

You may be asking, “Is the Myers’ cocktail named after a doctor?” Yes. The IV drip was named after Dr. John A. Myers, who was said to offer his patients a combination similar to what is given in the treatment today: a blend of supplements, vitamins, and hydration to promote health and wellness. 

Though its recipe has changed over the years, the Myers’ cocktail usually consists of vitamins like C and B complex, minerals like magnesium and calcium, and sterile water. Different clinics may add other ingredients, but generally, these are the offerings. If you are receiving a Myers’ cocktail at our facility, feel free to ask what exactly it consists of, including measurements. 

How a Myers’ cocktail may be able to help you 

Over the years, the Myers’ cocktail has been used to treat many conditions. From fibromyalgia to muscle spasms, seasonal and chronic allergies, fatigue, and even cardiovascular issues, patients have found that this combination of natural essential vitamins and minerals has many benefits, including: 

• Increased energy and focus 
• Decreased anxiety and depression 
• Managing headaches and migraines 
• Boosting the immune system 
• Flushing out toxins and rehydrating the body

Of course, this isn’t true in every case. Although these IV drips are used in medical facilities around the country, the treatment is not a cure-all for serious issues, and the benefits you notice might not match those your friend experiences. So, why do we use Myers’ cocktails? 

For one, they’re incredibly versatile, delivering vitamins and minerals your body already craves quickly and easily. Additionally, they can help you feel better in a short period of time, which many of our patients desire. Finally, IV drips, such as the Myers’ cocktail, can be tailored to your personalized needs and specifications, resulting in more individualized care.
