What Is IV Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) Therapy is the most efficient and effective way to deliver fluids, vitamins, and medications to your body. When you take vitamins by mouth, your body absorbs only about 20% of the ingredients. IV therapy is 100% absorption.
By bypassing the GI tract, IV therapy allows for the administration of higher doses of vitamins, electrolytes, minerals, and fluids while avoiding any stomach upset.
what we offer
Our Protocol of IV Therapy
Our medical providers trained and experienced in IV/IM administration. We take all necessary precautions by using sterile fluids, vitamins and medications sourced from licensed and accredited pharmacies. Our IV equipment is sterile and a single use.
Although our medical providers are highly trained in IV administration, in rare cases it can be difficult to locate a vein suitable for IV placement. Our policy is to attempt IV placement up to three times. However, if after three attempts, we are still unable to provide IV placement, we will gladly administer our vitamins and medications intramuscularly (IM).
