Myers Cocktail IV Infusion
You have probably read the ingredient list before you have read anything else: vitamin C, B complex, magnesium, hydrating fluids. That is the Myers Cocktail, and it is one of the most widely documented nutrient infusions in integrative medicine literature (Gaby, 2002). Here is what it involves at our Sunshine Coast clinic.

What Is in a Myers Cocktail Infusion
Final inclusions are determined after clinical review. Session times are approximate.
The formulation at IV Health Sunshine Coast is built on hydrating fluids combined with vitamin C, B complex and magnesium. Zinc, B12 and compression boots are among the more commonly requested add ons.
Final inclusions are determined after clinical review. This is not a fixed recipe poured for everyone who walks in. Dosage and composition depend on your hydration status, your nutrient needs and your current medications, which is why a practitioner prescription is required before any infusion is administered.
Infusions start from $270. Your infusion is tailored to your hydration status and nutrient needs, so the final figure varies. Clear fees are provided before you book.
What a Myers Cocktail May Support
The Myers Cocktail is commonly sought by people looking to support hydration, everyday energy levels and general wellbeing. Because nutrients are delivered intravenously, they bypass the digestive system.
Individual responses vary, and outcomes depend on your health status and the formulation scripted for you. IV nutrient infusions are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Whether this infusion is appropriate for your circumstances is a clinical decision, made during consultation.
How to Book a Myers Cocktail Infusion
Step 1: Nurse Consultation
A registered nurse reviews your health history, medications and goals. A complimentary 15-minute telehealth discovery call with a nurse is available if you would like to talk things through first and find out if this is right for you.
Step 3: Your Infusion
A registered nurse cannulates and administers your infusion in a calm, monitored environment using single-use consumables. Your clinician explains each step and checks in regularly throughout.
Step 2: Practitioner Consultation and Clinical Scripting
An integrative medical practitioner confirms clinical appropriateness, discusses your options and issues a personalised nutrient prescription valid for 12 months. No referral is required to begin having nutrient infusions or booster. A referral is required for medical infusions such as iron infusions.
Step 4: Follow Up and Review
Follow-up sessions are scheduled as needed, with periodic reviews so your plan can be adjusted over time. Because needs and responses differ from person to person, session frequency is decided in consultation with your practitioner rather than set by a fixed schedule. You are encouraged to bring any questions to your consultation so your practitioner can tailor a plan that is right for you.
Safety and Transparency
Clear fees are provided and informed consent is obtained before any treatment is administered. Infection-control procedures, single-use consumables and continuous monitoring are standard for every session.
All procedures carry risks. Your clinician will discuss the risks relevant to you, answer your questions and provide aftercare advice. Suitability is assessed individually, and treatment proceeds only where clinically appropriate.
If you have any questions before your appointment, you are welcome to contact the clinic directly.

Your clinician will confirm expected timing when you book.
What is a Myers Cocktail commonly used for?
It is one of the more widely known nutrient infusion formulations and is commonly sought by people looking to support general wellbeing, hydration and everyday energy levels.

Do I need a consultation before booking a Myers Cocktail?
Yes. Intravenous nutrients are prescribed, not chosen from a menu. Every new patient completes a nurse consultation covering health history, medications and goals, followed by a telehealth consultation with an integrative medical practitioner who confirms clinical appropriateness and issues a script valid for 12 months. No referral is required to begin. A complimentary 15-minute telehealth discovery call with a nurse is available.
How is a Myers Cocktail different from other IV infusions?
It is a specific, well-established combination of hydrating fluids, vitamin C, B complex and magnesium, rather than a formulation targeted at a single concern. Other infusions offered here are weighted toward particular goals, such as immunity support, muscle recovery or nerve support. Which one suits you depends on what your consultation uncovers. Many people find the Myers Cocktail a reasonable starting point.
Are there risks or side effects with a Myers Cocktail?
As with any clinical procedure, risks exist and vary between individuals. Possible effects include discomfort at the cannula site, a warm flushing sensation during magnesium administration, and light-headedness. Your clinician will discuss risks relevant to you, answer questions and provide aftercare advice before you consent. Screening exists partly to identify contraindications in advance. Single-use consumables and continuous monitoring are standard for every session.
How often can I have a Myers Cocktail infusion?
Session frequency is personalised and determined in consultation with your practitioner, rather than following a one-size-fits-all schedule. Some people attend periodically during demanding periods; others follow an initial series with occasional maintenance sessions. Your plan is reviewed regularly so it can be adjusted as your circumstances change, because needs and responses differ from person to person.
Can I have a Myers Cocktail at home or as a mobile visit?
Selected infusions may be available through mobile visits where clinically appropriate and safe. The clinical steps stay the same regardless of setting: consultation, practitioner scripting, monitored administration and follow up. Mobile availability depends on your location and clinician scheduling. Clinic appointments are available at Sippy Downs. Contact the team to confirm what is possible in your area.
How should I prepare for a Myers Cocktail infusion?
Before your session: Arrive well hydrated and having eaten a light meal, unless you have been advised otherwise.
After your session: Keep drinking water through the day, eat nutrient-dense meals and rest if you need to. Gentle movement is fine, though strenuous exercise is best left for 24 hours. Limit alcohol and excess caffeine for the remainder of the day. Your nurse will provide aftercare guidance specific to your infusion.
