Myers' cocktail

Myers' cocktail is an intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy. It lacks much scientific evidence to support its use as a medical treatment.[1] The term, Myers' cocktail, is included in Quackwatch's index of questionable treatments.[2]

The name is attributed to Baltimore physician John A. Myers. Prior to his death in 1984, Myers allegedly had administered vitamin infusions to patients.[3] Despite claims to the contrary, the original formula is unknown; the current "Myers' cocktail" recipe was published by a physician, Alan Gaby, who took on many of Myers' patients after he died.[3]

Naturopaths and other practitioners of pseudoscientific medicine in the United States and Canada often administer the IV drip in clinics and health spas.[4][5][6]

In 2018, the US Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against a peddler of Myers' cocktails and other IV treatments for making false health claims.[7]
