If you’ve ever had a few too many drinks at an event, felt exhausted after a hard workout, or experienced any other type of fatigue that just won’t seem to go away, it might be time to look into IV therapy. This cutting-edge medical treatment is becoming increasingly popular as people seek ways to feel better faster.

At My IV Doctors, we understand that you may have plenty of questions about this powerful form of hydration therapy. That’s why we’re here to answer your questions and provide the best possible care for all our patients.

We want everyone who comes through our doors to leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! Read on for answers to some common FAQs about IV treatments at My IV Doctors.

What Does An IV Do?

An IV, or intravenous therapy, is a powerful method for delivering fluids, vitamins, and medications directly into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system entirely, allowing nutrients to be delivered more quickly and efficiently than if they were taken orally.

IV therapy is an effective way to treat a variety of health issues, such as dehydration, exhaustion, and nutritional deficiencies. Common ingredients included in IVs are vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, calcium gluconate, and electrolytes like sodium chloride. These help restore hydration levels, replenish electrolytes lost due to dehydration, increase energy levels, and improve mood.

Who Should Get An IV?

IV therapy is suitable for anyone looking for a quick and efficient way to boost their health and wellness! Whether you’re dealing with exhaustion, dehydration, or nutritional deficiencies, IV treatments can help restore your energy levels and overall well-being.

At My IV Doctors, we believe that everyone should have access to the best possible care, which is why we offer personalized IV therapies tailored to each individual patient’s needs.

Who Shouldn't Get An IV?

Although IV therapy is generally safe, there are certain people who should not receive one. This includes pregnant women and individuals with compromised immune systems or chronic health issues such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease, abnormal vital signs, and uncontrolled diabetes.

If you’re not sure whether IV therapy is right for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out and speak with one of our experienced medical professionals. At My IV Doctors, we prioritize your safety above all else.

How Long Does An IV Drip Treatment Take?

Most of our IV drip treatments take about 30-60 minutes to complete. During this time, you’ll be free to relax or watch TV as your treatment progresses.

However, depending on your specific needs and the ingredients included in your personalized IV therapy formula, some treatments may take longer than others. For example, NAD+ and NAD++ treatments may take up to 4 hours or more.

How Long Do Intravenous Fluids Stay in a Patient's Body?

Intravenous fluids typically remain in the body for up to 48 hours after treatment. After that, they are gradually broken down and excreted through urine or other bodily waste.

This means that patients can expect to experience the full benefits of their IV therapy immediately following their treatment, as well as throughout the next day or two while their body continues to absorb the nutrients.

Where Can I Receive IV Therapy Treatment?

IV therapy is typically performed in a hospital setting under the supervision of a medical professional. However, here at My IV Doctors, we offer a unique and convenient mobile IV therapy service that brings the treatment directly to you!

Our experienced and knowledgeable medical staff will come to your home, office, or event with all the necessary equipment and supplies. All you have to do is sit back and relax as our team takes care of everything else.

How Far in Advance Should I Book My IV Treatment Appointment?

We recommend booking your IV treatment appointment at least 24 hours in advance so that our medical team can adequately prepare for your visit. However, if you need a same-day appointment, we can accommodate those requests as well.

We understand that you’re busy and may not always have the time to plan ahead. That is why our mobile IV therapy service is designed to be fast and convenient, so you can get the treatment you need when it works best for your schedule.

How Often Should I Get IV Drip Treatment?

IV therapy treatments vary depending on what type of results you are hoping to achieve. For general detoxification and wellness, it is recommended that you receive an IV drip treatment once a week to maintain optimal health and well-being.

For more serious medical conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, our medical professionals may recommend occasional IV treatments until your symptoms are under control. For temporary conditions like hangovers, dehydration, or jet lag, a single IV drip treatment can provide the relief you need.

Does My Insurance Cover IV Therapy Treatment?

My IV Doctors understands that healthcare costs can be a burden, so we do our best to keep our treatments and services as affordable as possible. Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover IV therapy treatments, so you may have to pay out of pocket for your session.

However, if you have an insurance plan that does cover IV therapy treatment, our team can help you check your coverage and submit the necessary paperwork to get reimbursed for the cost of your treatment.

What Is A Banana Bag And Why Is It Yellow?

A banana bag is an IV fluid containing a combination of vitamins, fluids, electrolytes, and other medications mixed in one solution. It's usually given intravenously to treat dehydration or replenish minerals and vitamins lost during illness or surgery.

The name comes from the fact that the bag looks like a yellow banana when it's filled with its intended mix of liquid ingredients. Banana bags are typically used for patients who don’t need intensive care but need extra fluids and nutrients due to severe vomiting and diarrhea, extreme fatigue, infection, or dehydration resulting from high temperatures.
