Shefali Jariwala (Shefali Jariwala IV therapy), popularly known as 'Kaanta Laga Girl', died of cardiac arrest on June 27. The sudden death of the actress at the age of 42 shocked everyone. It is being told that the actress had taken injections and IV drips (IV drips Side Effects) for anti-aging treatment before her death.

Recently, Shefali's close friend Pooja Ghai told in an interview that she had taken IV drip of vitamin-C before her death . This is a type of therapy, which people usually use as a beauty treatment. These days many celebs are using it. In such a situation, we learned about the important things related to IV drip therapy from Dr. Chetna Ghura of Dermatology and Cosmetology at Yatharth Super Specialty Hospital, Faridabad-

The doctor said that IV drip therapy is a process in which fluids, vitamins, minerals and medicines are delivered directly into the blood stream through veins. It is usually used to treat dehydration, nutrient deficiency or to deliver medicines quickly into the body.

In recent years, IV therapy has become popular for boosting energy, improving skin , aiding recovery, and boosting immunity. This therapy is especially used during aesthetic treatments to deliver certain antioxidants, glutathione, and vitamin C.

During IV drip therapy, a small catheter is usually inserted into a vein in the arm. A bag filled with liquid is connected to this catheter via a tube. The fluid is then slowly infused into the bloodstream over 30 to 60 minutes. Because the nutrients bypass the digestive system, absorption is faster and more effective, providing immediate benefits in some cases.

The doctor said that IV drip therapy can cause side effects such as bruising, swelling of veins, infection at the injection site or allergy. Excessive levels of certain vitamins in the body, especially fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K, can also cause toxicity.

Therefore, while doing this therapy, the doctor does a test before giving IV drip to decide what should be given to the person. This test is usually done 24 hours before giving the drip, so that it can be ascertained whether the person is allergic to anything or not. Doing this has proved to be life saving in many cases.

The doctor said that IV therapy is not right for everyone. People suffering from kidney disease , heart problems or certain chronic diseases should consult their doctor first. One should avoid taking it for regular or cosmetic use without medical need.

Always ensure that the therapy is administered by a certified medical professional in a hygienic manner. Understand what is in the drip, its purpose, and inform the professional performing the therapy about any allergies or health conditions beforehand.
