What is IV therapy?

When you consume oral supplements, they must first pass through your digestive system before your cells can use the nutrients. This process can also limit how much of the nutrients your body absorbs.

IV therapy bypasses the digestive process and delivers essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an IV line in your vein.

H & F Urgent Care and Family Medicine conveniently offers IV therapy in your home. The providers customize the nutrients you receive during therapy to address chronic medical conditions you have or any acute symptoms that leave you feeling tired or worn out.

What IV therapy services are available?

The H & F Urgent Care and Family Medicine providers can suggest which nutrients you need based on your overall health, symptoms, and your wellness goals.

They offer a range of essential nutrients for IV therapy, including the popular Myers’ cocktail. This infusion contains high doses of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C. Each infusion also contains fluids that can rehydrate your body much faster than drinking water.

You can benefit from a Myers’ cocktail or other IV infusion if you’re not feeling well due to any of the following:

• Cold or flu
• Hangover
• Stress
• Fatigue
• Dehydration
• Strenuous workout

The providers can also suggest customized IV therapy solutions to ease symptoms of autoimmune disease, allergies, cancer, and other chronic health conditions.

What happens during IV therapy?

H & F Urgent Care and Family Medicine provides mobile IV therapy services so that you can receive your treatment in the privacy of your own home.

Your specialist starts an IV line in your arm and connects it to a bag containing excess fluids and nutrients. The fluids drip slowly through the IV while you sit back and relax.

Some people experience a boost in their energy levels, improved mental clarity, and symptom relief before treatment is complete. However, it can take a few hours for you to experience the full benefit of IV therapy.

After your treatment is done, your provider removes the IV line. You can get back to your regular routine right away without any limitations. If you’re interested in additional IV therapy sessions, the specialists can discuss how soon you should schedule your next appointment.
