A reputable clinic has medical oversight from a physician or a nurse practitioner. Your vitals will be checked, and you’ll be asked to complete a health screening or questionnaire before you receive IV therapy, says Steve Rallis, a doctor of chiropractic medicine, doctor of naturopathy, and the chief medical officer for the DRIPBaR Canada. Then, the IV is administered by a nurse.
The nutrient solution will be made according to your needs, Rallis says. You’ll receive a steady supply of the solution through the IV while you sit, with sessions lasting approximately 20 to 60 minutes. You should be monitored during the session, and your vitals should be rechecked once the injection is completed, Rallis says.
Many IV drip companies recommend coming once every two weeks, though this depends on the person and their reasons for going in the first place, Rallis says. Expect to go more than once. “If it’s for fatigue, as an example, you’re unlikely to see the benefit until you’ve done around six to eight IVs,” Rallis says.
