Infusion Therapy · Praxis Dr. Romanos
Medically indicated, individually dosed — applied when there is clear medical benefit.
Our Principle
Infusion therapies do not replace diagnostic workup. They are used selectively as complementary measures — based on history, findings, and medical judgment.
Intravenous administration enables direct availability in the bloodstream — independent of the gastrointestinal tract.
Possible Applications
With pronounced fatigue or during convalescence — based on indication.
With increased susceptibility to infection or recurrent infections — after clinical assessment.
Supporting measures in cases of increased metabolic burden.
For stress-related complaints or sleep disorders — as part of an overall concept.

Indication: Fatigue, burnout, convalescence, Long COVID.
S-Acetyl-Glutathione (3,000 mg), high-dose Vitamin C (12,000 mg), liver-supporting micronutrients. Glutathione as cofactor of hepatic conjugation.
Indication: Increased liver burden, recovery after exposure.
S-Acetyl-Glutathione (3,000 mg), Vitamin C (12,000 mg), Taurine, Arginine. Immunomodulatory approach via glutathione and cytoprotective amino acids.
Indication: Increased susceptibility to infection, recurrent infections.
Arginine, Taurine, Glycine, Magnesium, Glutathione, Choline, Tryptophan. Amino acid-focused formulation to support parasympathetic regulation.

Indication
Documented iron deficiency (lab confirmed) · Pronounced fatigue or burnout · Convalescence after severe strain · Recurrent infections · Autonomic dysregulation or stress intolerance · Long COVID with fatigue component
An underlying condition has not been investigated · Hormonal imbalances exist without diagnostics · Chronic fatigue persists without clarifying the cause · Expectation of immediate effect is in the foreground
Process
Clarify symptoms, evaluate indication — and determine if an infusion makes sense or if other workup takes priority.
Medically supervised application, individually dosed. Composition based on your findings. Duration: 30–60 minutes.
Assess response. Adjust composition if needed or initiate further diagnostics.
Costs
Iron infusion
if deficiency is documented
Usually covered by Swiss mandatory insurance. Deductible and co-payment apply.
Glutathione infusion
per session · private service
Composition individually tailored to indication. No flat-rate packages.
Everything is discussed in advance — transparent, with no hidden costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
A central endogenous antioxidant and cofactor of hepatic detoxification. The S-acetyl form is stable and has good intravenous availability. It is the basis of our glutathione infusions.
30–60 minutes, depending on composition.
For iron infusions, mandatory. For glutathione infusions, not required at the first session — if symptoms are unclear, we recommend targeted lab analysis beforehand.
An iron infusion is covered by mandatory insurance (KVG) only for a documented iron deficiency with low ferritin — many insurers now require ferritin ≤ 15 µg/l. Between roughly 15–30 µg/l with matching symptoms, an individual medical assessment applies and coverage is not guaranteed. Without a covered indication, the iron infusion is a private service: CHF 300 per infusion (infusion only, no consultation). Glutathione infusions are private services at CHF 300 per session.
An iron infusion is indicated only for a documented iron deficiency. The relevant values are ferritin, transferrin saturation and your symptoms. With replete iron stores (ferritin in the normal range) there is no indication — extra iron provides no benefit and can be harmful. We do not give iron "on request" at normal levels; current lab values are a prerequisite.
All infusions are administered under medical supervision. Relevant side effects are rare. Risk factors and contraindications are clarified in the initial consultation.
Depends on indication and response. Some patients benefit after 1–2 sessions, others need a series. We advise you individually.
Not every symptom requires an infusion. But when it is indicated, it can be a precise tool. We decide together — on the basis of medicine, not trends.
