Steroid-free Sarapin injections for nerve and muscle pain, given at home anywhere in Brooklyn by a New York-licensed provider.
Sarapin is an injection made from the purple pitcher plant. Your provider injects it near a painful nerve or into a sore muscle, usually mixed with a numbing medicine such as lidocaine. It contains no steroid.
Adults with nerve or muscle pain, such as sciatica, rib or neck pain, who want a steroid-free option. Sarapin is not FDA-approved, and studies have not shown that it adds relief beyond the numbing medicine.
Your provider reviews your health history and examines the painful area first. The injection takes a few minutes. Some people feel brief warmth, heaviness or a short flare of pain, so plan to rest for 10 to 15 minutes afterward.
Every injection is given by a licensed medical provider.
Sarapin contains no corticosteroid.
Get care without driving to a clinic while you hurt.
Your provider asks where the pain is, how it started and what makes it better or worse, and examines the area.
Pain with fever, weakness, numbness in the groin, loss of bladder or bowel control, or after a serious fall needs urgent care, not an injection at home.
Sarapin is injected near the painful nerve or muscle, sometimes with a numbing medicine. The area is cleaned first to prevent infection.
Your provider checks how much relief you had and for how long, and whether repeating it makes sense.
Studies are limited. When nerve blocks were compared with and without Sarapin, adding Sarapin did not show a clear extra benefit. Some patients report relief.
Brief warmth, heaviness or a short flare of pain at the injection site are most reported. Any injection can cause bruising, infection or, rarely, an allergic reaction.
Sarapin has been sold since 1935 but has never been approved by the FDA. It is given only by licensed clinicians.
Getting to an appointment with back or nerve pain can mean stairs, crowded trains and long walks. A home visit removes all of that.
Injections work best alongside movement, physical therapy and good sleep. Your provider can point you to Brooklyn physical therapy if it would help.
Your injection is given by a provider licensed in New York, who reviews your history and medicines first.
The evidence is limited. When studies compared the same nerve blocks with and without Sarapin, adding Sarapin did not show a measurable extra benefit. Some patients report relief, and your provider will be honest about what to expect.
No. Sarapin has been sold since 1935 but has never been approved by the FDA. It is given only by licensed clinicians.
