IV vitamin therapy delivers fluid and selected nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a cannula. Protocol choice is based on your goals, clinical suitability, and practitioner review.

Session duration varies by drip type and rate, but many infusions take approximately 30-60 minutes.

Please disclose your full medical history, medication list, and any allergy history before each infusion session.

Treatment may be postponed or modified if any of the following apply:

• You are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
• You have significant kidney disease, severe heart disease, or fluid-restriction conditions.
• You have uncontrolled hypertension or unstable chronic illness.
• You have known allergy to infusion ingredients.
• You have G6PD deficiency or relevant metabolic conditions (especially for high-dose vitamin C protocols).
• You are currently unwell, febrile, or have active infection.

• Eat a light meal before arrival to reduce dizziness risk.
• Hydrate well with water before your appointment.
• Avoid alcohol for at least 12-24 hours before infusion.
• Bring an updated medication/supplement list and disclose all allergies.
• Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arm.

A practitioner will confirm your selected drip, check suitability, and place a cannula in an appropriate vein. You will be monitored throughout infusion.

Report any discomfort immediately, including burning at the site, chest symptoms, severe nausea, or unexpected pain.

• Continue hydration for the rest of the day.
• Avoid alcohol and very strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
• Keep cannula site clean and monitor for redness or swelling.
• A light meal and rest are recommended if you feel tired after infusion.

Common and temporary:

• Mild cool sensation in the arm during infusion.
• Temporary metallic taste, warmth, or lightheadedness in some protocols.
• Minor bruising or tenderness at the cannula site.

• Keep monitoring the cannula site for 24-48 hours and keep it clean/dry.
• Continue oral hydration and balanced meals through the rest of the day.
• Allow recovery time if you feel fatigued post-infusion.

• Phlebitis, bruising, or local irritation around the infusion site.
• Fluid overload risk in susceptible clients if not appropriately screened.
• Allergic-type reactions to infusion components.
• Lack of expected benefit depending on baseline deficiency status and clinical need.

Seek urgent advice if you experience:

• Breathing difficulty, chest pain, or severe dizziness.
• Facial swelling, hives, or signs of allergic reaction.
• Persistent vomiting, severe headache, or confusion.
• Increasing pain, swelling, redness, or discharge at the cannula site.

If severe symptoms occur, seek immediate emergency care and notify the clinic as soon as possible.
