Ahmedabad Garba Fans Turn to IV Drips Amid Safety Warnings

It can cause bruising or make a vein sore and swollen.
It can also lead to infection or an allergic reaction.
Too much of certain vitamins or minerals can be harmful.
People with kidney problems or other health conditions may face extra risks.
Doctors also warn that the wrong dose or an infusion given too quickly can cause problems.
