IV Therapy
IV Therapy
IV therapy delivers fluids and selected vitamins directly into a vein where clinical assessment identifies an appropriate need. The proposed formulation, available options, evidence and alternatives are discussed before treatment. Oral hydration or supplementation may be more appropriate. Infusions are not a substitute for a balanced diet or medical investigation, and benefits are not guaranteed.
Concerns it may address
- Hydration needs where intravenous fluids are clinically indicated
- Vitamin replacement needs assessed individually
Why suitability matters
Your clinician reviews your medical history, medicines and hydration or vitamin needs, including heart and kidney conditions. Any required investigations and the proposed ingredients are discussed before agreeing treatment.
What to expect
Clinical assessment
Review your health needs, medicines and whether an infusion or an alternative is appropriate.
Infusion, if indicated
Agree the proposed fluids or vitamins and risks; the infusion is monitored clinically.
Review & advice
Discuss your response and any further assessment or follow-up required.
