FAQs About Mobile IV Hydration
GENERAL INFORMATION
IV hydration therapy involves delivering fluids, electrolytes, and sometimes vitamins directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. It’s a way to quickly and effectively rehydrate your body.
It’s commonly recommended for situations like dehydration due to illness, intense physical activity, hangovers, jet lag, or when you need a quick energy boost. It can also be used to support overall wellness.
A healthcare professional inserts a small needle into your vein to administer the fluids and nutrients. This allows your body to absorb them more rapidly and effectively compared to drinking fluids.
When administered by trained professionals, IV hydration therapy is generally considered safe. However, like any medical procedure, it’s important to discuss your medical history with the provider to ensure it’s appropriate for you.
IV hydration sessions typically last around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of infusion and your individual needs.
