Medicine during fasting led to low BP
On June 27, Shefali Jariwala conducted a Satyanarayana puja at her home and had been observing a fast for it. Even while observing the fast, she consumed her anti-aging medications and a vial of Glutathione injection.
Glutathione is frequently promoted as an agent for brightening skin and detoxification. It’s produced naturally in the body and consists of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. Nonetheless, the enthusiasm for youthful skin has prompted many individuals to choose high-dose intravenous (IV) glutathione infusions, frequently without adequate medical oversight.

The process is anticipated to require two to three days, whereas the analysis of the viscera may extend to 50 to 90 days.
