How does Methylene blue work?

Methylene blue is a molecule of very low molecular weight which is hydrophilic (water soluble) and lipophilic (fat soluble) which makes it highly permeable across multiple membranes. Methylene Blue acts specifically on the mitochondrial electron transport chain which enhances ATP production, boosts cellular energy and optimises cell function. It also acts to reduce the production of reactive oxygen species and protects cells against oxidative stress.

Before

  • Have a meal before the drip- It is important to keep your blood glucose level regulated and optimal during the IV drip session. Some vitamins in our IV drips may lower your blood glucose levels. Low blood glucose may cause symptoms of dizziness, lightheaded and even nausea which may affect the experience of the drip itself. So, have a nice healthy meal before coming in for your session!
  • Stay Hydrated- While all our IV drips help with hydration, a dehydrated body may result in difficult venous access. If you are well hydrated, your veins will be more prominent, and it would be easier for our experience team members to locate a suitable vein for venous access. So, drink up and stay hydrated during the drip. Nevertheless, rest assured our experienced nurses with experience in dialysis, ITU and emergency medicine are well trained in dealing with patients with difficult veins, which is why we are known as having some of the Best Cannulating nurses in Dubai.
