What it is
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell, where it takes part in energy metabolism. NAD+ is not an FDA-approved drug for any condition, and research on NAD+ infusions is still limited.
When a clinician orders it for a named patient, AccuMix compounds sterile NAD+ for infusion exactly to that order. The clinician sets the dose, the diluent and the infusion rate.
What the clinic receives
- Single-patient sterile vials or a patient-specific admixture, as the prescriber orders.
- A label listing every component, its concentration, storage conditions and the beyond-use date.
- Shipment to the clinic, temperature-controlled when required.
- Infusion supplies where state law permits. Catheter placement and infusion are performed by trained healthcare professionals.
How to get it
- Clinics and providers: send the order by e-prescription or fax for a named patient, with components, concentrations, diluent and volume, and infusion directions. See our Providers page or call 866-817-5303 for a pharmacist consult.
- Patients: IV therapy is ordered and given by a licensed clinician. Ask your clinic whether it works with AccuMix Pharmacy.
We compound only on a valid prescription for a named patient, not for general office stock. Our turnaround time is 24 hours, and we ship to clinics in the 37 states and Washington, DC where we hold a license, with temperature-controlled packaging when required.
How it is made
Compounded under USP <797> in ISO Class 5 hoods inside ISO Class 7 cleanrooms, by a team led by board-certified pharmacists. Ingredients come from FDA-registered suppliers and are verified against a certificate of analysis. Every sterile batch is tested for sterility and endotoxins. Potency is tested regularly and whenever the source of an active ingredient changes. A pharmacist checks each step, and every preparation is traceable by lot.
Safety and what to expect
- Infusions are given by a licensed clinician in a clinical setting, with monitoring and an emergency plan.
- Tell your clinician about heart or kidney disease, pregnancy, allergies and every medication and supplement you take.
- Possible effects include warmth or flushing, taste changes, vein irritation, nausea and lightheadedness. Tell the clinician right away if you feel unwell during an infusion.
- NAD+ is usually infused slowly. Flushing, nausea, cramping or chest tightness during the infusion should be reported at once; the clinician may slow or stop it.
Storage
For the clinic: follow the storage directions and the beyond-use date (BUD) printed on the label, and maintain the cold chain when indicated. Keep all medications out of the reach of children and pets.
Common questions
Is NAD+ IV the same as an NAD+ injection?
It is the same ingredient prepared for a different route. NAD⁺ IV is infused in a clinic. NAD+ injection is dispensed to the patient for injection as prescribed.
Can I have the infusion at home?
IV therapy should be given by a licensed clinician. If home infusion is ordered, a qualified provider must coordinate it, with monitoring and an emergency plan.
How long does an infusion take?
Your clinician sets the rate and the length of the infusion for each patient.
Compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA. AccuMix Pharmacy is a 503A compounding pharmacy and compounds only after receiving a valid prescription for an individual patient. This page is general information, not medical advice. Your prescriber decides whether this therapy is right for you.
