IV Infusion Therapy Q&A

What should I know about IV infusion therapy?

Intravenous (IV) infusion therapy is a medical treatment that administers fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into your body through an IV line placed in a vein. Once in the bloodstream, the therapeutic agents rapidly move through the body to the organs and tissues that need them the most.

Calabasas Medicine Group is a concierge medicine practice dedicated to providing comprehensive medical care to keep you well. They offer IV infusion therapy to boost health and well-being, customizing treatments to match individual needs.

Can IV infusion therapy help me recover from a cold?

Many people use IV infusion therapy to help them recover from an acute infection like a cold or flu. IV infusion therapy can also support recovery following an intense workout or a hangover. 

You may also benefit from IV  infusion therapy to support general health or manage a chronic health issue like migraines. IV infusion therapy improves immune health, reduces stress, and boosts mental clarity. 

Though safe for most people, your physician at Calabasas Medicine Group may not recommend IV infusion therapy if you have a condition that affects your body’s ability to process nutrients or fluids, such as liver or kidney disease.

What happens during IV infusion therapy?

Before making any specific IV infusion therapy recommendations, your physician conducts a comprehensive evaluation to understand your current state of health and wellness goals. They may also run functional lab work to assess hydration and nutrition status.

Your nurse talks to you about your IV infusion therapy and the types of fluids and nutrients that can benefit you. Calabasas Medicine Group offers vitamin B complex, magnesium infusions, and saline fluids.

While you relax in the therapy chair, your nurse inserts an IV line in your arm and starts your therapy. Treatment takes 30-60 minutes, depending on your individual fluid needs.

You can resume your daily routine after IV infusion therapy.

What can I expect after IV infusion therapy?

You can expect a boost in energy, mood, and focus following IV infusion therapy. Your physician may recommend regular IV infusion therapy sessions to maintain overall health and wellness.
