Pro Health makes sick visits easy, and while we have a wide range of treatment options for when you’re under the weather, our most popular is the sinus cocktail shot. So, what is a sinus cocktail shot, anyway? If you’re feeling stuffy, itchy or congested, this injection is a quick way to get you back on your feet.

What does a sinus cocktail shot do?

Mainly used to treat sinus infections, sinus cocktail shots reduce swelling and inflammation in your sinuses, relieving any pressure or pain you might be feeling.

Each injection contains two main ingredients – vitamin B12 and dexamethasone. B12 is great for giving your immune system and energy levels the boost they need to help you fight off sickness. Other benefits include helping to regulate your nervous and digestive systems, as well as improving heart health. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid. While it seems scary, this is a fast-acting anti-inflammatory drug, which reduces inflammation and pain while calming your immune system.

In a nutshell, these two medications work together beautifully to quickly reduce your sinus symptoms and get you back in action fast.

How often can you get a sinus cocktail shot?

Sinus cocktail shots are different from the typical weekly shots you can get at Pro Health. These contain a steroid, which has longer-lasting effects on the body. The frequency depends on your medical history, but doctors typically recommend no more than three or four sinus cocktail injections per year.
