What is IV THERAPY?
IV (Intravenous) therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, or medications directly into the bloodstream through a vein using an IV drip. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for rapid and efficient absorption.
Advantages of IV therapy:
⚡ Rapid Absorption & Immediate Effect
- Delivers nutrients or medications directly into the bloodstream.
- Faster onset of action compared to oral supplements or medications.
- Useful in emergencies (dehydration, infections, pain, etc.).
💧 Efficient Rehydration
- Quickly restores fluid and electrolyte balance.
- Commonly used to treat severe dehydration from illness, exercise, or heat.
💊 Higher Bioavailability
- 100% absorption of nutrients and medications, unlike oral intake which loses some during digestion.
- Allows higher doses than the digestive system could tolerate orally.
💪 Supports Energy and Immunity
- Often used to deliver vitamins (like Vitamin C, B-complex) and minerals (magnesium, zinc) directly.
- May boost immune function, energy levels, and recovery from illness or fatigue.
🤒 Useful When Oral Intake Isn’t Possible
- Helps patients who can’t eat or drink, or have malabsorption problems.
- Used after surgeries, during chemotherapy, or in gastrointestinal disorders.
🩺 Controlled & Customizable
- IV therapy can be precisely tailored to a patient’s specific needs (type and amount of fluids, nutrients, or medications).
- Allows higher doses than the digestive system could tolerate orally.
