IV Nutrition Therapy

IV therapy delivers fluids and selected nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a small intravenous catheter.

The exact formulation, if treatment is indicated, should be selected according to your medical needs and the physician's clinical assessment.

Intravenous fluids and nutrients have recognized roles in situations such as treating dehydration or correcting certain documented nutrient deficiencies when clinically indicated.

IV treatment should not be considered a substitute for a balanced diet, appropriate oral supplementation, or management of an underlying medical condition

No. Medical history, kidney function, medications, allergies, cardiovascular conditions, nutrient levels, and other factors may affect whether IV therapy is appropriate.

A medical evaluation helps identify potential risks before treatment.

As with any intravenous treatment, potential risks can include discomfort, bruising, infection, vein irritation, fluid or electrolyte problems, and reactions to ingredients.

High doses of some nutrients may also cause harm in certain patients, which is why medically supervised treatment and appropriate patient selection are important.
