Why get mobile IV therapy in San Diego with us
The nurse comes to you
A registered nurse brings your drip to your hotel room or home, from downtown and La Jolla to Carlsbad and Chula Vista.
Screened before every drip
A clinician reviews your health in a 5–10 minute phone or video screening first, so add-ons are approved only when they make sense for you.
Monitored the whole time
Your nurse checks vital signs during the infusion, uses sterile, single-use equipment and disposes of needles and waste when you're done.
Clear pricing up front
The base saline hydration drip is $199. Add-ons such as vitamins or anti-nausea medicine raise the total, and you approve the final price first.

Who books mobile IV therapy in San Diego
Travelers flying into San Diego
After a long-haul or overnight flight, some visitors book a nurse to their downtown or harbor hotel to rehydrate before a busy week.
Convention and Comic-Con attendees
Big events at the San Diego Convention Center, including Comic-Con each summer, mean long days on your feet. A drip can be scheduled at your hotel before or after the show floor.
Surfers, swimmers and triathletes
Athletes training in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach and Encinitas sometimes book after long sessions in the sun and water.
Coastal wedding parties
Couples and guests at La Jolla and Coronado celebrations can schedule several drips at one address on the morning of or after the big day.
Who shouldn't get an IV drip
If you're pregnant or have heart failure, advanced kidney disease or an electrolyte disorder, IV fluids need careful review and may not be appropriate.

What is mobile IV therapy in San Diego?
San Diego's mild coastal weather can be deceptive. A breezy day at the beach still means hours of sun, and a hike inland or a long surf session can leave you more depleted than you expect. The city also hosts big conventions, long-haul travelers landing at the airport and plenty of weddings and celebrations. Mobile IV therapy gives you a way to recover without searching for a clinic.
First, a licensed clinician reviews your health history. Then a registered nurse travels to your address, takes your vital signs and places a thin catheter in a vein. Saline and electrolytes run directly into your bloodstream, along with any vitamins or medicines your clinician has approved. The nurse stays until the bag empties, removes the line and takes all supplies away.
A drip supports hydration and recovery. It is not treatment for illness, and it isn't the right call when someone has emergency symptoms such as confusion, chest pain or fainting. In those situations, call 911.

San Diego IV drip options and add-ons
The $199 base is a saline bag for hydration, placed and monitored by a nurse. Add-ons that your clinician may approve include B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and other minerals, an amino acid blend, glutathione and zinc, plus medicines for nausea or pain such as ondansetron or ketorolac. Common combinations include a Myers'-style blend, a hangover drip, athletic recovery, a beauty drip and immune support. Each extra raises the total, and you approve the final price first.
NAD+ drips are offered at 500 mg or 1,000 mg and run slowly over two to four hours. NAD+ is compounded by licensed U.S. pharmacies and is not FDA-approved.
Dehydration after a San Diego beach day
Ocean breezes keep the coast feeling cool, but you still lose fluid through sweat, and salt water doesn't help. Bring water to the beach, take shade breaks and reapply sunscreen. Inland areas and canyon trails can get much hotter than the shoreline, so carry more water on hikes.
If you feel dizzy, have a headache or notice dark urine after a day outdoors, start by drinking fluids. A drip is an option when you're struggling to catch up or nausea makes drinking hard.
IV therapy side effects and safety
Healthy adults generally tolerate IV therapy well when a trained nurse uses sterile technique. Your clinician screens you because extra fluid can be risky for some health conditions.
- Common: a pinch on insertion, a cool arm and possibly a bruise
- Puffiness near the site may mean fluid is outside the vein; the nurse will stop and reposition
- Heart failure, kidney disease, high blood pressure and pregnancy need extra review
- Tell the nurse at once if you feel itchy, short of breath or faint
- Chest pain, confusion or collapse are emergencies; call 911

Book a free IV screeningWhat does an IV drip cost in San Diego?
Drips start at $199 for saline hydration with a registered nurse at your door. Vitamins, medicines and NAD+ add to the price, and you agree to the total before starting.
Can an IV nurse come to my hotel during Comic-Con?
Yes, nurses can set up in hotel rooms downtown and across the county. Busy convention weeks fill up, so book ahead and let the front desk know a visitor is coming.
Does mobile IV therapy cover North County San Diego?
Yes. Coverage includes Encinitas, Carlsbad and Oceanside, along with central San Diego, the beach communities and Chula Vista.
Is an IV drip good after a long flight?
Some travelers find it helps them feel rehydrated after hours of dry cabin air. Drinking water during and after the flight is still the first step.
Can I get an IV drip after surfing or a triathlon?
Yes, many athletes do. If you have severe cramps, confusion or collapse after an event, seek emergency care instead.
How long will my IV drip last?
Most drips run 30 to 60 minutes once the line is in, so plan for about an hour. NAD+ can take two to four hours.
Do I need to see a doctor before IV therapy?
No. A licensed clinician screens you by phone or video in about 5–10 minutes, and the nurse checks your vital signs on arrival.
Can a San Diego wedding party book IV drips?
Yes. Each person is screened and gets their own drip. Tell us how many people when you book so enough nurses are scheduled.
Will insurance pay for IV therapy?
No. Wellness drips are self-pay and you don't need insurance. Pricing is shown before you confirm.
Is NAD+ FDA-approved?
No. NAD+ for IV use is compounded by licensed U.S. pharmacies and is not FDA-approved. Your clinician will go over what the evidence does and doesn't show.
How do I prepare for an at-home IV drip?
A clean, well-lit spot with a chair or bed and an outlet, a list of your medicines, a light snack beforehand and a loose or short-sleeved top.
Can IV therapy help with a stomach bug?
If vomiting or diarrhea has left you dehydrated, fluids and an anti-nausea medicine your clinician approves may help you feel better. Bloody stools, a high fever, severe belly pain or signs of severe dehydration need in-person medical care.
Do you offer IV therapy in Tijuana?
No. Mobile IV therapy is available only at addresses in our California service areas.
Do you offer mobile IV therapy in Orange County?
Orange County has its own service area and page. If you're near the county line, ask the care team which nurses can reach you.
