Frequently Asked Questions

All you need to know before, during and after IV therapy!

Who can benefit from IV therapy?

IV therapy can benefit a wide range of individuals including those who are dehydrated, have nutrient deficiencies, need medication delivery, seek wellness and preventative care, are recovering from surgery, have chronic illnesses, suffer from acute conditions like hangovers or jet lag, and older adults looking for general wellness support.

Which drip is right for me?

The right drip depends on your specific needs and health goals. Our medical professionals will assess your condition and recommend a personalized IV therapy plan tailored to your requirements.

What should I do before arriving?

Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, and wear comfortable clothing. Make sure to bring any medical information or a list of medications you are currently taking.

What results can I expect?

Results vary based on the type of IV therapy, but generally, you can expect improved hydration, increased energy, enhanced immune function, quicker recovery from illnesses or workouts, and overall well-being.

How often should I have a drip?

The frequency of IV therapy depends on individual needs and health goals. Some may benefit from weekly sessions, while others might need it monthly or only for specific occasions. Our healthcare professionals will provide personalized recommendations.

Is it safe?

IV therapy is generally safe when administered by trained professionals. We use sterile equipment and follow strict protocols to minimize risks.

Can I work out before/after a drip?

You can work out before your IV therapy. After a drip, it’s usually best to rest and allow your body to absorb the nutrients and fluids effectively. Consult with our medical team for personalized advice.

Can I drink alcohol before?

It’s best to avoid alcohol before your IV therapy, as it can dehydrate you and diminish the effectiveness of the treatment.

Can I have an IV whilst pregnant?

IV therapy during pregnancy should only be done under the guidance of your healthcare provider to ensure it is safe for both you and your baby.

Do I need a blood test before?

A blood test is not always required but may be recommended to assess your specific nutrient levels and health status to tailor the IV therapy to your needs.

How do we know what people are deficient in and how do you test?

We assess deficiencies through a combination of medical history, symptoms, and blood tests if necessary. This comprehensive evaluation helps us determine the most beneficial IV therapy for you.

How much fluid is in each drip?

The amount of fluid in each IV drip typically ranges from 500ml to 1000ml, depending on the type of therapy and individual needs.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are rare but can include mild discomfort at the injection site, bruising, or a cool sensation during the infusion. More serious side effects are uncommon but can occur, such as infection or phlebitis.

How long post-surgery can I have an IV drip?

Post-surgery, the timing for IV therapy should be discussed with your surgeon or healthcare provider. Generally, it can be administered once you are stable and your healthcare provider deems it safe.

Do you come to my house?

Yes, we offer mobile IV therapy services where our trained professionals can administer treatments in the comfort of your home.

Can it help cancer patients?

IV therapy can support cancer patients by providing hydration, nutrition, and symptom relief. However, it should be part of a comprehensive treatment plan supervised by an oncologist.

I fear needles. What can I do?

If you fear needles, let us know. We use techniques to minimize discomfort, such as using smaller needles, numbing creams, and distraction methods to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
