Are you feeling sick?

An IV can help in several different ways while sickness is present in the body:

1. Rapid Rehydration

    •    Why it helps: Illness often causes dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or poor fluid intake.

    •    How IV helps: Fluids go directly into the bloodstream, hydrating faster and more effectively than drinking water.

2. Electrolyte Balance

    •    Why it helps: Loss of sodium, and other electrolytes can worsen symptoms like weakness, headache, or confusion.

    •    How IV helps: Electrolytes can be added to IV fluids to quickly restore balance.

3. Immediate Nutrient Delivery

    •    Why it helps: When you’re too sick to eat or absorb nutrients well, IV therapy can provide vitamins and minerals like:

    •    Vitamin C – boosts immune function

    •    B vitamins – help with energy and recovery

    •    Zinc – supports immune defense

4. Medication Delivery

    •    Why it helps: Some medications work faster and more effectively when given IV.

    •    Examples: Anti-nausea drugs like Zofran, pain relievers like toradol, anti-acid like Pepcid.
