Great question! It’s a drip that delivers a blend of vitamins, minerals and amino acids straight into your bloodstream through a small cannula — all done for you by our registered nurses while you kick back and relax. Think of it as your cue to switch off for a bit while we take care of the rest.
With supplements, you pop a tablet and let your digestive system do its thing. With us, it goes straight in via your drip — no tablets to remember! Whether IV or oral is the better fit for you is a great thing to chat through with your nurse or doctor.
Your safety comes first, always. IV and IM treatments are medical procedures, so — like anything involving a needle — there are some risks and possible side effects. The reassuring part: every treatment is carried out by our registered nurses using proper sterile technique, and we’ll have a good chat about your medical history before we begin (and you’re always welcome to loop in your own GP too).
Yep — IV therapy needs a prescription, so we do things properly. Here’s how it works: at your consultation, your nurse runs through your health and suitability with you and completes a script request. That goes to our prescribing doctor, who issues your script — it covers our full range of nutrients and lasts a whole 12 months. So once you’re set up, you’re sorted for the year!
Loads! We work with an extensive range of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, so there’s plenty to play with. The best bit? After a quick consultation, our nurses help you find what suits you — and more often than not, we’ll whip up a drip designed just for you. Custom-made, exactly how it should be.
Typically, an IV therapy session takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the specific treatment and individual needs.
There’s no magic number — it’s different for everyone! How often (if at all) is something we’ll work out together at your consultation, based on what’s right for you. No pressure, no lock-ins.
Possibly — it depends on the condition. Some health conditions mean IV therapy isn’t the right call, so the key first step is a chat with our registered nurses about your medical history. We’ll always be straight with you about whether it’s suitable.
Most people tolerate IV therapy well. However, potential side effects can include pain or swelling at the injection site, dizziness, lightheadedness and allergic reactions. If you experience any adverse side effects during or after treatment, inform our medical team immediately.
The cost of IV therapy varies depending on the specific treatment and any additional services or add-ons. To obtain a copy of our Vitamin Menu (in other words, our price list), contact us here and we’ll send it to you!
Most insurance plans do not cover IV Vitamin & Mineral Therapy, as it is often considered an elective or wellness treatment. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to determine if any coverage is available.
