Updated October 20, 2026 · 3 min read

If you're considering ozone IV therapy, safety should be your first question. Good clinics welcome it.

Here's an honest guide to the risks of ozone UV IV therapy (https://icryo-mauldin-sc.com/services/ozone-uv-iv), who should avoid it and how screening protects you.

## Who Should Not Get Ozone Therapy?

Ozone IV therapy may not be safe if you:

- **Have G6PD deficiency**, an enzyme deficiency that affects red blood cells
- **Are pregnant**
- **Have an overactive thyroid** (hyperthyroidism)
- **Have bleeding disorders** or take blood thinners
- **Have had a recent heart attack** or have certain heart conditions
- **Have uncontrolled high blood pressure**
- **Have a history of seizures**
- **Have had a reaction to ozone** in the past

Our medical team will review your full health history.

## Why G6PD Screening Matters

People with G6PD deficiency may be at risk of red blood cell breakdown with oxidative therapies. A simple blood test checks for it. Learn more in Why You Need a G6PD Test (https://icryo-mauldin-sc.com/blog/g6pd-test-vitamin-c-iv).

## Possible Side Effects

- Tiredness after a session
- Brief lightheadedness
- Bruising or soreness at the IV site

Serious complications are possible with any IV procedure, which is why technique, sterile equipment and trained staff matter.

## Never Inhale Ozone

Ozone can irritate and damage the lungs. In ozone UV IV therapy, it's handled in a closed, controlled system.

## What Makes a Clinic Safe?

- Thorough medical screening
- Required tests like G6PD
- Medical-grade ozone and equipment
- Trained, licensed staff
- Clear consent and honest information
- A plan for follow-up

## Know the Evidence

Ozone therapy isn't FDA-approved to treat any medical condition, and high-quality human research is limited. Read Ozone UV IV Benefits: What It's Used For (https://icryo-mauldin-sc.com/blog/ozone-uv-iv-benefits).

## Safer Alternatives for Common Goals

If ozone therapy isn't right for you, consider:

- **IV infusions (https://icryo-mauldin-sc.com/services/iv-infusion)** for hydration and nutrients
- **High-C IV (https://icryo-mauldin-sc.com/services/high-dose-vitamin-c)** for immune support (G6PD screening still required)
- **Hyperbaric oxygen (https://icryo-mauldin-sc.com/services/hyperbaric)** for oxygen-focused wellness
