Last updated on: September 22, 2025

Intravenous (IV) Therapy

Intravenous (IV) therapy is the most unique and most recommended wellness treatment, delivering essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and fluids directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption and optimal results.

While intravenous (IV) therapy options can be fully tailored to your individual needs and delivered with the highest standards of safety and care, it is equally important that each formula be designed by DHA-licensed IV expert physicians and administered under strict medical supervision to ensure precision, effectiveness, and comfort, delivering optimal health and wellness outcomes. Each IV cocktail carries particular benefits and outcomes; thus, when receiving IV drips, it is best to get to know more about the formula and its ingredients to set the expectations better.

What is Intravenous (IV) Therapy?

Intravenous therapy, also known as IV therapy, is a type of treatment in which a sterile IV drip is used to deliver essential nutrients, fluids, antioxidants, or medications straight into the vein. IV therapy avoids absorption barriers and delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream for approximately 100% bioavailability, in contrast to oral supplements that must pass through the digestive system and hence are being partially absorbed in the majority of cases.

Hence, IV therapy is commonly indicated for rehydration in cases of fluid loss, correction of electrolyte imbalances, treatment of acute or chronic nutritional deficiencies, administration of drugs when oral or intramuscular routes are not feasible, and emergency management of critically ill patients. Its advantages include precise control of dosage, immediate therapeutic effect, and the ability to deliver high concentrations of active compounds safely under medical supervision

IV therapy formulations are medically designed by DHA-licensed experts in the scope of delivering targeted benefits with maximum safety and effectiveness.

  7. Chronic Condition Support
    Under strict medical guidance, IV therapy can help manage symptoms of migraines, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue, improving quality of life for those living with these conditions.

How Does Intravenous (IV) Therapy Work?

During intravenous therapy, a thin, sterile catheter is inserted into your vein, usually in your arm or any other convenient and accessible vein.

And for safety and compatibility, for all IV dilutions it is recommended that the normal saline solution be utilized as the base. Therefore, the base becomes a neutral diluent, which is more compatible to be received by the bloodstream. Thus, the nutrient-rich solution flows from an IV bag directly into your bloodstream, ensuring immediate and efficient delivery.

Intravenous therapy treatments usually begin with a medical evaluation and, where needed, are supported by analytics such as oligoscan full-body noninvasive analytics and lab testing to understand your body and its unique necessities better.

This allows us to create a bespoke IV formula with the precise balance of nutrients your body requires. Our medical experts monitor you throughout the session, which typically lasts 30–60 minutes, ensuring safety, comfort, and the best health outcomes.

Is Intravenous (IV) Therapy Safe?

Intravenous therapy is generally considered safe and well-tolerated when administered by DHA-licensed, trained, and experienced healthcare professionals. It is important that every session is carried out under the supervision of a DHA-licensed doctor and is administered by a DHA-licensed nurse in line with strict infection-control protocols.

Safety measures that have to be adhered to while administering intravenous therapies are as follows.

  • Comprehensive medical history review before treatment
  • Oligoscan noninvasive scientific full-body analysis or blood tests when necessary
  • Comprehensive vital check with pre-IV assessment
  • Use of active, fresh, medical-grade, high-quality ingredients sourced from Fusion Apothecary
  • High- skilled, DHA-licensed medical professionals
  • Award-winning service excellence
  • Over 4000 4.9-rated Google reviews among happy clients
  • Sterile equipment and procedures to prevent infection
  • Continuous monitoring during your infusion.

We also tailor the nutrient dosages to your personal health profile, mitigating any possible risks and ensuring your treatment is as effective as it is safe.

Things to Know Before Getting Intravenous (IV) Therapy

Before starting intravenous therapy, there are a few important considerations that draw attention.

  • Medical Evaluation - Its essential to have your treatment supervised by a qualified medical professional.
  • Diagnostics - Oligoscan advance scientific analytics of lab tests are recommended for certain therapies to determine your nutritional needs and avoid imbalances.
  • Hydration Status -Even though IVs hydrate you, being moderately hydrated before your session helps vein access and provides a smooth experience.
  • Treatment Frequency - Your schedule will depend on your health goals and your medical professional’s recommendations; some may benefit from a one-time boost, others from regular sessions.
  • Provide medical/medication histories and be transparent about it - This enables the medical professional to make an informed decision aiming for a prolonged wellness journey.

Possible Side Effects of Intravenous (IV) Therapy

Intravenous (IV) therapy is often considered safe, yet it seldom leads to mild discomforts, which are known as temporary side effects that can occasionally occur. These are usually minor, resolve on their own, and are a normal part of the process.

  • Temporary discomfort or mild pain at the needle site – This can happen during insertion and typically subsides within minutes.
  • Bruising or redness – This is completely normal after an IV and is caused by the tiny puncture in the vein. It will fade away naturally over the next few days without treatment.
  • Cooling sensation in the arm during infusion – This is simply the nutrient-rich IV fluid entering your bloodstream and is harmless.
  • Mild headache or lightheadedness – Rare and short-lived, often improving with hydration and rest.

It is important to understand that minor redness, slight swelling, or bruises at the site of IV cannulation are expected and part of the body’s normal healing response. These effects are temporary and do not indicate any complication.

Serious side effects from intravenous therapy are extremely rare, especially when administered by trained professionals, by DHA-licensed doctors and nurses using medical-grade ingredients, sterile equipment, and strict safety protocols. Every patient should be monitored throughout the infusion to ensure comfort and immediate response to any concerns or reactions.

Most importantly, all appointments will be followed with essential aftercare, and at any given instance if the discomfort/side effects last longer, we will be at your service right away to manage the same and provide you with the best resolutions.
