FAQ’s

What are IV drip infusions, and how do they work?

IV drip infusions involve delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and medications directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. This bypasses the digestive system, allowing for faster absorption and potential immediate effects.

Who can have an IV Drip Treatment?

To consent to any IV drip vitamin infusion, you must be 18 years old. If you have a complex medical history involving conditions such as cancer, fluid retention, kidney, or liver failure, please consult your treating doctor before scheduling an appointment with us.

How do I know which IV Drip Treatment is right for me?

IV infusion therapy may offer benefits to individuals experiencing nutrient deficiencies, gut absorption issues, or chronic illnesses. Therapy has the potential to aid in the recovery process following periods of feeling run down, fatigued or dehydrated. They may complement treatment plans but should be used judiciously and under medical guidance.

Please note: Your MEDinfusion Nurse will provide expert recommendations and advice during your consultation. There’s no need for you to select specific vitamins before your appointment.
