Hangover treatment, one minute from Shimbashi Station

Shimbashi is where Tokyo goes drinking, and this clinic is a minute from the station. An injection takes a few minutes; a drip takes about half an hour. Tablets work as prevention if you think ahead.

Choosing

Which one to ask for

Injection or drip?

An injection is a few minutes and ¥900. It is the one to pick if you are on your way somewhere. A drip is ¥3,500 and takes about half an hour, delivering more fluid along with the vitamins — the fluid is a large part of why people feel better afterwards.

Tablets are the cheap option, if you plan

Glutathione tablets at ¥70 each can be taken before you start drinking. Nothing here makes drinking harmless; it makes the following morning shorter.

Before you book

What you need to know

Important information

  • Injection site pain, bruising and light-headedness can occur. Tell the doctor if you have liver disease or are taking other medication.
  • This treats the symptoms of a hangover. It does not make alcohol safe, and it is not a treatment for alcohol dependence — if drinking is causing you problems, say so at the consultation.
  • All treatments on this page are self-pay (自由診療). Japanese national health insurance does not apply, and the full amount is charged at the clinic.
  • Prices shown include consumption tax and are the prices at the time of writing. They can change without notice — the price confirmed at your consultation is the one that applies.
  • Any medicine can cause side effects. A doctor reviews your history and current medication before prescribing, and will decline to prescribe where it is not safe to do so.

Coming as an English speaker

You can be seen here without speaking Japanese. Consultations are handled with a translation app and written notes rather than by an English-speaking doctor, which works well for treatments where the decision is straightforward — repeat prescriptions, testing, hair removal — and is slower where you have a complicated history to explain. Treatment information, pricing and access details on these pages are in English. The booking system and the pre-visit questionnaire are in Japanese, so message us on LINE beforehand if you would like help completing them.

FAQ

Common questions

What actually helps a hangover?

Rehydration and time do most of the work. What the clinic adds is glutathione, which supports how the liver handles alcohol, and B vitamins — delivered by injection or drip so they do not have to survive a stomach that is already unhappy. An injection is ¥900; the hyper garlic drip at ¥3,500 is the heavier option.

Can I take something before I drink?

Yes. Glutathione tablets are ¥70 each and can be taken before drinking, after, or the next morning. People with a work dinner they cannot avoid tend to take them beforehand.

How long does it take?

An injection is a few minutes in and out. A drip runs for roughly half an hour including the consultation. If you are trying to fit it in before work, the injection is the realistic option.

Are you open at the weekend?

Yes — 10:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, and 14:00 to 21:00 on weekdays. Last admission is 30 minutes before closing on a first visit.
