IV Hydration Therapy
This intravenous therapy administers clean fluids and other nutrients into your bloodstream through a small catheter, or IV line, placed in the vein. Some of the common components of IV drips include electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride), vitamins such as vitamin C and B12, amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and antioxidants, such as glutathione.
IV therapy is a quick way to get liquids (hydration) or other important nutrients into the body and can be beneficial in a myriad of conditions such as:
- Hangovers
- Jet lag
- Generalized fatigue
- Muscle soreness associated with intense exercise
- Dehydration due to various causes such as illness, colds, poor intake
- Food poisoning
- Overall skin and hair health

Are There Any Risk Associated with Getting IV Hydration Therapy?
Yes. Like any procedure that pierces the skin, there is always a risk of infection by the accidental introduction of bacteria into the blood stream or surrounding area. This can be mitigated if the infusion is administered by a licensed medical professional who is trained to follow aseptic techniques and infection prevention protocols.
Other risks include local vein irritation and inflammation which can be painful, too fast dripping of the infusion or over-infusion of liquid which can cause fluid overload and overwhelm the heart, lungs and kidneys. It is critical that your IV drip is monitored by a healthcare professional to prevent any of these possible complications.
How Do I Know If IV Therapy Is Right for Me?
In order to determine if IV therapy is right for you and to select the appropriate combination of fluid and nutrients, it is important to have a comprehensive discussion with a physician.
You will be asked to provide a detailed medical history including vitamin or mineral deficiency or any health condition that can increase your risk of adverse reactions. You will also discuss lifestyle aspects such as diet and exercise level, current medications including OTC drugs or supplements and habitual use of teas, coffee or other beverages. Based on the medical evaluation, your medical history and your needs, the doctor will determine whether you are a candidate for IV therapy.
