What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is the delivery of fluids, vitamins or minerals directly into a vein. It is an invasive medical procedure, carried out by a qualified practitioner.
Do I need to see a doctor first?
Every patient has a consultation with our clinical team before any IV therapy. The team reviews your medical questionnaire and discusses your health, history, goals and concerns. If anything needs a closer look, it is escalated to our doctor, and you may need further consultation before treatment.
Is IV therapy suitable for me?
Not for everyone. Whether it is appropriate for you can only be decided by a qualified practitioner who has assessed your suitability. A practitioner may advise that it is not appropriate in your case.
What are the risks?
Risks can include bruising, pain, irritation or inflammation at the injection site, infection, vein damage, and adverse reactions to the substances given. Your practitioner will talk through the risks and possible side effects with you before any treatment.
Will it hurt?
Inserting the cannula involves a needle, so you may feel a brief sting. Our clinical team will explain what to expect during the appointment.
How long does an appointment take?
An appointment generally takes around 60 minutes.
Who administers the treatment?
Your infusion is administered by our qualified clinical team, with medical oversight by our doctors.
How often would I have it?
There is no standard schedule. Frequency is an individual clinical matter, decided with your practitioner after an assessment.
What does it cost?
Fees vary, as your infusion is tailored to you.
The initial consultation with our clinical team is included in your appointment. The team will confirm the cost with you at your consultation, before any treatment goes ahead. If anything is escalated to the doctor, a further consultation or testing may be needed. That is an additional cost and varies with the level of investigation required. You can also call the clinic on 02 9133 8500 for current pricing.
