Main Information

During your first visit to a clinic, you should explain what you expect from an IV vitamin treatment. Your practitioner should discuss any potential problems connected with the treatment, such as allergies. You must both discuss which formulation will be best for you and for treating your specific concerns. In most cases, as you will otherwise be a healthy individual who has not sought help or a diagnosis for symptoms which could be related to a vitamin or nutrient deficiency, there should be no problem with you having treatment. The practitioner should however take a full medical history to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t have the treatment. This will be done alongside lifestyle screening and vital sign checks (bloody pressure, pulse, temperature, BMI etc.). Rarely there is a requirement or a desire for a full blood work up to be done on a patient before treatment, some practitioners believe this is unnecessary and others see this as an essential benchmark for the primary starting point with prescribing the best (or avoiding the worst) treatment therapy for the individual. It is up to you to decide the level of investigation you wish to undertake before treatment. Then you will usually be asked to read detailed information and sign a consent form which means that you have understood what the treatment may do, along with any potential side effects from it. Your practitioners will then set up an intravenous cannulation, this is the act of correctly placing a cannula inside a vein to provide access for the administration of IV medicines. This is done by locating a suitable vein, using a needle to enter the vein and then catheterising it so the drip can be attached. This should be a relatively painless, or tolerable pain as the needle is inserted (just as when having a blood sample taken) so no anaesthesia is required. The IV solution is then directly administered into the bloodstream during an IV push of between 30 and 60 minutes, while you sit or lie on a couch in the clinic. Your practitioner will calculate the IV drip rate or the flow of delivery of an IV infusion based on the specific vitamins and minerals being delivered and how they are taken on by the body, so that the components are delivered at a safe speed and in safe doses.
