IV INFUSION · DEIRA, DUBAI
Cardio Support
A B-complex with taurine, L-carnitine and 1,000 mg of magnesium, given alongside cardiac care and never instead of it.
About this infusion
The preparation carries taurine and L-carnitine, both found in high concentration in heart muscle, with 1,000 mg of magnesium and a full set of B vitamins including 200 mg of niacinamide.
The name describes what it contains, not what it treats. Heart disease is diagnosed and managed with investigations, medication and follow-up, and nothing on this page substitutes for any of that.
What is in it
Every quantity below is taken from the manufacturer's own prescription form. Tap an ingredient to read what it is.
Your doctor may consider it for
- Nutritional support alongside cardiac care already under way
- Demonstrated magnesium or B-vitamin deficiency
Not suitable for
- Chest pain, breathlessness or palpitations — those need assessing today
- Anyone with kidney impairment, without review, because of the magnesium
- Replacing prescribed cardiac medication
What the evidence says
Why a drip rather than a tablet. The gut can only absorb so much at once. Given into a vein, a nutrient reaches levels swallowing it cannot.1
Where it clearly helps. When a blood test shows a real shortfall. Correcting a proven vitamin D deficiency follows published clinical guidelines.2
Where it is less certain. If nothing is lacking. A placebo-controlled trial of a classic vitamin drip found no meaningful difference from placebo.3
That is the whole reason we assess first and test before we treat.
For cardiovascular risk specifically, what changes outcomes is measured and treated: blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, smoking and weight. Our internal medicine specialist covers those, and a health check that includes them is a better use of the same money.
Questions people ask
No, and stopping prescribed cardiac medication is dangerous. This is nutritional support. If you want your cardiovascular risk reviewed properly, that is an internal medicine consultation with the relevant blood tests.
No. Chest pain needs assessing the same day. Call the clinic, or if it is severe or came on suddenly, call 998 for an ambulance.
