IV Hydration Therapy

IV (intravenous) hydration therapy involves delivering fluids, electrolytes, and antioxidants directly into a patient’s bloodstream through a vein. IV hydration therapy is typically used to:

• Rehydrate patients who are dehydrated due to illness, surgery, or excessive sweating
• Help patients with severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea who are unable to keep liquids down orally
• May help conditions such as migraines, hangovers, and jet lag
• Provide electrolyte replacement for patients with imbalances

IV hydration therapy is performed by a healthcare provider, and typically takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete. The treatment involves inserting a small IV catheter into a vein, typically in the arm, and infusing a solution of fluids, electrolytes, and medications as directed by the healthcare provider.
