Understanding your visit
What this service involves
IV treatment is not appropriate for everyone. The need for fluids or other intravenous therapies depends on medical evaluation, risks, contraindications, and the clinic’s verified service offerings. Routine IV wellness infusions have limited evidence for broad health claims in otherwise healthy people.
What you can discuss
- Discussion of symptoms and treatment goals
- Review of medical conditions and medications
- Evaluation of whether IV treatment is indicated
- Explanation of risks, alternatives, and aftercare
Preparing for your appointment
- Ask the clinic which infusions, if any, are currently offered and by whom.
- Disclose kidney or heart conditions, allergies, pregnancy, and relevant medications before treatment.
