Intravenous infusion therapy and any claims made about these infusions have not been evaluated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical disease. These IV infusions are not a substitute for your physician’s medical care.
Understanding the Procedure
The procedure involves inserting a needle into a vein and injecting the prescribed solution.
Alternatives to intravenous therapy are oral supplementation and/or dietary and lifestyle changes.

Occasionally: Discomfort, bruising, and pain at the site of injection.
Rarely: Inflammation of the vein used for injection, phlebitis, metabolic disturbances, and injury.
Extremely Rare: Severe allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, infection, cardiac arrest, and death.
Benefits of intravenous therapy include:
Injectables are not affected by stomach or intestinal absorption problems.
