Why choose mobile IV therapy with My IV Doctors
Care where you are
A registered nurse comes to your home, hotel room or workplace in California, so you can rest instead of driving to a clinic.
Health check first
A clinician reviews your health history before any drip, and the nurse checks your vital signs before and during the infusion.
Drips matched to you
Start with base hydration and add clinician-approved vitamins, minerals or medicines for recovery, nausea, cramps, skin or immune support.
No surprise totals
The base drip is $199. Each add-on raises the price, and you see the full amount before you confirm the visit.
How to book mobile IV therapy
- 1
Book a time and location
Book online and pick your address within one of our California service areas. Your first visit costs nothing, and insurance isn't required.
- 2
Talk with a clinician
A licensed clinician talks with you for about 5–10 minutes by phone or video, reviews your health history and medicines and decides whether a drip is appropriate and which ingredients make sense.
- 3
Meet your nurse
A registered nurse takes your blood pressure, pulse and other vital signs, confirms your drip and sets up with sterile, single-use supplies.
- 4
Relax during your IV drip
Most bags take 30 to 60 minutes. NAD+ is given slowly and can take two to four hours. The nurse monitors you throughout.
- 5
Follow up with the care team
The nurse removes the catheter, applies a bandage and disposes of all sharps. You can message the care team afterward if you have questions.
Who mobile IV therapy is for
Travelers and hotel guests
Long flights, dry cabin air and packed schedules leave many people feeling depleted. A nurse can come to your room so you don't have to find a clinic in an unfamiliar city.
Hangover or stomach bug recovery
When nausea makes drinking hard, fluids by vein plus an anti-nausea medicine, if your clinician approves it, may help you feel steadier.
Athletes and event guests
Runners, cyclists, festivalgoers and wedding parties often book after heat, exertion or long days on their feet.
Groups at one address
Several people at the same home, rental or office can each have a drip. Tell us the headcount when you book so enough nurses are scheduled.
Heart, kidney or pregnancy concerns
People with heart failure, advanced kidney disease or certain electrolyte disorders, and people who are pregnant, need a careful medical review, and IV fluids may not be appropriate. Anyone with emergency symptoms should seek urgent in-person care.

What is mobile IV therapy?
Intravenous (IV) therapy sends fluid straight into a vein through a thin, flexible catheter, usually placed in the forearm or the inside of the elbow. Because nothing has to pass through your stomach, fluid and electrolytes reach your bloodstream as the drip runs. Hospitals use IV salt solutions to treat serious dehydration; wellness drips use the same basic approach for milder situations, such as feeling run down after travel, a stomach bug, a hot day outdoors or a late night.
With our mobile service, you don't sit in a clinic. You book a time, a clinician reviews your health history and a registered nurse arrives with sterile, single-use equipment. The nurse checks your vital signs, places the line and stays with you while the bag empties, then removes the catheter and bandages the site. You can sit on your sofa, work on a laptop or rest in a hotel bed while it runs.
It helps to be clear about limits. A drip can rehydrate you and deliver vitamins or medicines your clinician approves, but it isn't a treatment for chronic disease, and the evidence for many wellness add-ons is limited. If you have chest pain, confusion or fainting, or you can't keep fluids down for a long stretch, call 911 or go to an emergency department rather than booking a mobile drip.
Mobile IV therapy cost and drip options
Every session starts with the base hydration drip at $199, which covers a standard saline bag placed and monitored by a nurse. From there, your clinician and nurse can add ingredients based on your health and what you're hoping for. Each add-on raises the total, and you see the full price before you confirm.
Some ingredients, including NAD+, are prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies. Compounded products are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety or effectiveness before they're sold. Your clinician will tell you when a drip contains a compounded ingredient.
- Build-your-own hydration: saline with optional vitamins and minerals
- Myers'-style blend: vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium and other minerals
- Hangover and nausea support: fluids, vitamins and ondansetron or ketorolac when approved
- Menstrual cramp support: magnesium, B vitamins and ketorolac when approved
- Athletic recovery: fluids, vitamin C, minerals and an amino acid blend
- Skin and hair: glutathione, biotin and vitamin C
- Immune support: vitamin C, zinc and glutathione
- NAD+ at 500 mg or 1,000 mg, given slowly over several hours
Mobile IV therapy service areas in California
Mobile IV therapy is available only in California. Nurses currently cover six metro areas, each with its own page listing the neighborhoods and cities served: Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and the Coachella Valley around Palm Springs.
Our other services, such as B12 injections or beta blocker prescriptions, are telehealth only and work differently. IV drips need a nurse in the room, so they're limited to the areas where we have nursing coverage. If your address sits just outside a listed area, ask the care team before you book.
How to prepare for mobile IV therapy
Drink your usual amount of water in the hours before, and have a light snack so you don't feel faint. Wear a short-sleeved or loose top so the nurse can reach your forearm easily.
Choose a clean, well-lit indoor spot near an outlet, with a chair or bed where you can sit comfortably for about an hour. Have a list of your medicines and allergies handy. Pets are best kept in another room while the line is in.
Mobile IV therapy side effects and safety
For most healthy adults, IV therapy given by a trained nurse with sterile technique is well tolerated. Every drip still carries some risk, which is why a clinician screens you first and the nurse watches you while it runs.
- Common and minor: a cool feeling in the arm, brief stinging at the insertion site and bruising afterward
- Less common: fluid leaking into tissue around the vein (swelling), vein irritation or infection at the site
- Too much fluid can strain the heart or kidneys; tell your clinician about heart failure, kidney disease or high blood pressure
- Pregnancy, electrolyte disorders and some medicines need extra review before a drip
- Allergic reactions to vitamins or medicines are rare; tell the nurse right away if you feel itchy, short of breath or lightheaded
- Severe dehydration with confusion, fainting or a rapid heartbeat is an emergency; call 911

IV therapy: your questions
Still deciding? The first consultation is free and takes about 5–10 minutes.
Book a free IV screeningWhat does a mobile IV drip cost?
The base hydration drip is $199 and includes a standard saline bag, the nurse's travel and the supplies. Vitamins, minerals, medicines and NAD+ add to the price. You see the total and agree to it before the nurse sets up.
Who starts the IV for mobile IV therapy?
A registered nurse experienced in starting IV lines places it. Independently licensed U.S. physicians supervise the care, and a clinician reviews your health history before any drip is given.
Do I need to see a doctor before IV therapy?
You have a short screening with a licensed clinician, about 5–10 minutes by phone or video. There's no separate office trip. The nurse also checks your vital signs before starting.
How long does an IV drip take at home?
Plan for roughly an hour in total for a standard drip, which usually runs 30 to 60 minutes once the line is in. NAD+ drips are infused slowly and can take two to four hours.
Is IV therapy covered by insurance?
Elective wellness drips are self-pay, and you don't need insurance to book. If you need IV fluids for a medical condition, your doctor or hospital handles that separately.
Can a nurse come to my hotel or office?
Yes. Nurses set up in homes, short-term rentals, hotel rooms, offices and private event spaces. All you need is a clean indoor area with a seat or bed and nearby power.
Where in California is mobile IV therapy available?
Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and the Palm Springs area. Each city page lists the neighborhoods and nearby towns nurses cover. The service is not available outside California.
Does IV therapy help a hangover?
It can rehydrate you, and an anti-nausea medicine or pain reliever may be added if your clinician approves. It won't undo alcohol's effects instantly, and how quickly people feel better varies.
Is NAD+ therapy FDA-approved?
No. NAD+ for IV use comes from licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies, and compounded products are not FDA-approved. Research on NAD+ drips in people is still limited, so your clinician will talk through what is and isn't known.
How often can I get an IV drip?
There's no single answer. Most people book occasionally, such as after travel or an illness. Frequent drips aren't right for everyone, and your clinician can advise based on your health.
Does IV therapy hurt?
You'll feel a quick pinch when the catheter goes in. After that, most people feel little beyond a cool sensation in the arm. Some bruising afterward is common.
Can a group book mobile IV therapy together?
Yes. Groups at the same address, such as a family, a wedding party or a team, can each have a drip. Mention the number of people when you book.
How do I prepare for an IV drip?
Drink water as you normally would, eat something light and wear a loose or short-sleeved top. Have your medication list ready for the nurse.
When should I go to the ER instead of getting an IV drip?
If you're confused or fainting, or you have chest pain, a very fast heartbeat or can't keep any fluids down, call 911 or go to an emergency department. A mobile drip is not emergency care.
