Wellness

Common Side Effects

Mild redness, soreness, or swelling at the injection site
Headache
Temporary fatigue or dizziness
Flushing or warmth
Nausea or stomach discomfort (rare)

These symptoms are typically mild and short-lived, especially when injections are administered slowly. Rotating injection sites can help minimize local irritation.

Allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing)
Chest tightness or shortness of breath
Joint pain or muscle cramps
Unusual weakness or tingling

If any of these occur, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Warnings (serious risks)

Rare cases of allergic or anaphylactic reactions have been reported with IV or intramuscular glutathione. Patients with known sensitivities should use caution.
Use cautiously in individuals with asthma or a history of sulfur allergies.
Glutathione may alter levels of other antioxidants or medications metabolized through glutathione-dependent pathways.

Contraindications (not recommended for)

Known hypersensitivity to glutathione or any injection components
Current or recent diagnosis of cancer unless specifically approved by an oncologist
Pregnancy or breastfeeding (due to limited safety data)

Chemotherapy agents
Medications affecting liver metabolism

Glutathione injections are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to a lack of controlled safety data. Speak with your provider if you are pregnant, nursing, or planning to conceive.
