Do you have a question about our Melbourne clinic?You are hereHomeClinicServicesIV and Chelation ClinicIf you can handle needles, the "iv.me hydration clinics" offer a tantalising service. In less than an hour you'll be hydrated, have toxins flushed from your body, wave goodbye to nausea and headaches and get a boost to your immune system. You will, they say, walk out with "glowing and radiant" skin. The clinics' intravenous vitamin drips and injections also, allegedly, protect you from viruses, improve your sleep, help you lose weight, and "reduce depression… so you can get more from life".But one leading doctor, Ken Harvey, says these claims are baseless and that people who pay up to $349 for a drip at the clinics in Melbourne's South Yarra or Sydney's Darlinghurst are wasting their money.He says consumers are also risking unpleasant side effects from high doses of vitamin C such as diarrhoea, gastrointestinal upset and deep-vein thrombosis without being sufficiently warned of these risks before they attend.
The iv.me clinic chain is similar to another more boldly named "Hangover clinic" in Sydney which primarily markets its drips to people who have drunk too much and are suffering as a result. That venture has been slammed by doctors and public health experts who say it encourages irresponsible drinking.In a complaint about the new iv.me clinics to the Pharmacy Board of Australia, Associate Professor Harvey alleges the pharmacist behind them, Shadi Kazeme, has broken the law by advertising claims that are likely to be false, misleading or deceptive, or create an unreasonable expectation of benefit. Associate Professor Harvey, of Monash University and the Friends of Science in Medicine, said a search of databases for research on natural medicines and scientific literature had not yielded any reliable studies to substantiate the claims on the iv.me clinics' website.He said the business was also breaking a national law that prohibits health services from publishing testimonials.On its instagram account, the group runs many pictures of iv.me clients, including models, praising their treatments.
One client, "Kaye", who had a history of chronic fatigue syndrome said a vitamin infusion had left her feeling "incredible"."I have been constantly sick the last 6 months, catching every cold and flu and now I feel amazing!" she is quoted as saying. A wonderful result for one of our lovely clients @kaye.valerie after ONE infusion! You don't have to live with lethargy, chronic fatigue and a weak immune system- we can help you! ..au to discuss your options! #ivme #hydration #boost #immunity #vitamininfusions #melbourne #infusiontherapy #vitamins #myerscocktail A photo posted by iv.me Hydration Clinic (@iv.me.hydrationclinic) on Oct 5, 2015 at 7:55pm PDT Other testimonials on the website, which have now been removed, include anecdotes from a "senior manager" and "personal trainer" who praise the "energise me" and "replenish me" drips.Associate Professor Harvey said he was also concerned that Ms Kazeme was working outside her professional competence without adequate input from a doctor.
He said when one of his medical students emailed her to ask which doctor would assess their suitability for a drip, she responded: "I am a pharmacist and I will assess your medical history to clear you for IV therapy".When asked in the same email exchange if the IV therapy was safe, Associate Professor Harvey says Ms Kazeme "failed to mention that IV infusions of vitamin C in doses greater than the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 2000 mg daily can significantly increase the risk of adverse effects such as osmotic diarrhoea, gastrointestinal upset and deep-vein thrombosis." @carladibello receiving a Vitamin IV in the states from her go to iv vitamin doctor .

Ms Kazeme declined to comment on the allegations. A spokesperson for the Pharmacy Board of Australia said under the law it could not comment on individual matters.
