1) Treatment Description
You are being offered an injection of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺), administered intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SQ). NAD⁺ is a naturally occurring coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism. This therapy is sometimes used for wellness purposes such as supporting energy and focus. Uses may be off‑label, evidence can vary, and individual results are not guaranteed. This treatment is not a substitute for ongoing medical care.
2) Purpose/Expected Benefits (not guaranteed)
Possible goals include supporting energy, focus, and general wellness. Some patients report reduced fatigue or improved clarity. No specific outcome can be promised.
3) Reasonable Alternatives
- No treatment / watchful waiting
- Oral supplements / lifestyle measures
- IV infusion therapies
- Evaluation and treatment by your primary care clinician or a specialist
- 4) Risks, Side Effects & Complications
Common effects may include: pain, redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site, a feeling of warmth/flushing, nausea, headache, dizziness or lightheadedness, fatigue, or palpitations. Less common but more serious risks include: infection or abscess, allergic reaction (up to anaphylaxis), bleeding, nerve or tissue injury, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, fainting/syncope, or other unexpected reactions. Seek emergency care for severe symptoms.
Medication/supplement interactions are possible and not fully known. Please disclose all medications, supplements, and medical conditions.
5) Contraindications & Cautions
You should not receive NAD⁺ injections if you have a known allergy to NAD⁺ or any component of the formulation (e.g., preservatives), an active skin infection at the injection site, or if you have been advised not to receive injections. Use caution and discuss with your clinician if you have: bleeding disorders or anticoagulant use, uncontrolled hypertension, arrhythmias, significant heart, liver, or kidney disease, a history of severe allergic reactions, or if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
