Treatments are performed under clinical oversight and follow established nursing standards, including sterile technique and appropriate monitoring.

Our team is extensively trained in contraindications, emergency procedures, and safe administration practices.

You will not typically see a doctor during a standard IV therapy or injection visit. Most treatments are administered by licensed registered nurses.

Our clinic operates under the supervision of a board-certified medical director who oversees protocols, safety standards, and any services that require a prescription.

If you have a medical condition or take prescription medications, we recommend consulting your primary care provider before treatment.

Each IV and injection contains a combination of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. The exact ingredients vary by treatment and are selected based on your goals.

We source ingredients from FDA-registered 503B compounding pharmacies that follow strict quality and sterility standards. When available, we use preservative-free and PVC-free supplies to reduce the risk of irritation.

Your nurse will review the specific ingredients in your treatment before administration and answer any questions.

We follow established clinical safety standards for all treatments.

Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a sterile catheter placed in a vein.

Because IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, nutrients are delivered directly into circulation.

IV therapy has been used in medical settings for decades to support hydration and nutrient replacement. In wellness settings, it is offered as an elective service to support general hydration and nutrient intake.

All treatments at iv&co are administered by licensed registered nurses using sterile technique and are sourced from FDA-registered 503B/A compounding pharmacies. Each visit includes a health screening to determine appropriateness.

IV therapy is an elective wellness service and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease or medical condition.

It delivers fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, which may support hydration and nutrient intake.

Clients commonly use IV therapy for:

• General hydration or rehydration
• Support after travel or physical activity
• Nutrient supplementation
• General wellness and self-care

Individual experiences may vary. A nurse will review your goals and help determine if a treatment is appropriate for you.

Most IV therapy sessions take about 45 to 60 minutes. We recommend allowing around one hour for your visit, including intake, IV placement, and completion.

Some formulations may take longer depending on the ingredients and your individual tolerance.

Specialty infusions, such as NAD+, may take 1.5 to 3 hours due to slower administration rates.

During your session, a registered nurse will review your intake, confirm your treatment plan, and take vital signs as needed.

A small catheter is then placed into a vein, usually in the arm or hand. The infusion is administered over about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the formulation and your tolerance.

Your nurse will monitor you throughout the session to ensure comfort and safety. Once complete, the IV is removed and you can resume normal activities.

IV therapy is generally well tolerated when administered by trained medical professionals. However, as with any intravenous procedure, there are potential risks.

Possible side effects may include:

• Mild bruising or discomfort at the IV site
• Temporary lightheadedness
• Vein irritation (phlebitis), which is uncommon
• Sensitivity to certain ingredients in rare cases

To reduce risk, we review your health history, screen for contraindications, and monitor you throughout your treatment.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or take prescription medications, you should consult your healthcare provider before receiving IV therapy.

The frequency of IV therapy depends on your goals, health status, and how your body responds.

Many clients choose to receive IV therapy about once every 3 to 4 weeks for general wellness. Others may come in more or less often based on their individual needs.

Before each visit, a nurse will review your health history and help determine an appropriate schedule for you.

IV therapy is available to most individuals in good general health. All treatments are elective and require a brief health intake reviewed by a licensed registered nurse.

We typically offer IV therapy to clients ages 14 and older, with a parent or legal guardian present for anyone under 18.

We may defer or decline treatment for individuals who:

• Are experiencing acute illness or fever
• Have certain medical conditions or are undergoing active treatment
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding (depending on ingredients)
• Are taking medications that may interact with treatment
• Have a history of adverse reactions to IV therapy

If you have a medical condition or questions about eligibility, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before treatment.

We offer transparent pricing, and membership or package options may be available for clients who visit regularly.

IV therapy selection is based on your symptoms, goals, and health history.

If you’re unsure where to start, our team will walk you through your options and answer any questions before treatment.

Oral supplements can support daily nutrition, but absorption can vary between individuals.

IV therapy delivers fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.

Some clients choose IV therapy for:

• Hydration support
• Nutrient supplementation
• Situations where oral supplements are not well tolerated
• General wellness support
