How to prepare for intravenous (IV) infusion therapy

WHAT TO BRING

  • Your completed Intravenous (IV) Infusion Therapy Intake Form. (Make sure your prescription medication, OTC medications, vitamins/supplements are reported.)
  • A copy of your most recent blood work is helpful.
  • A light snack to your IV infusion sessions.

A FEW THINGS TO DO BEFORE EACH APPOINTMENT

  • Make sure you are well hydrated prior to your visit. We suggest drinking 1-2 16oz. bottles of water. Dehydration can make it difficult to insert an IV.
  • Make sure you eat something prior to your visit. We suggest a high protein snack, such as nuts, seeds, a protein bar, cheese, yogurt or eggs. Low blood sugar can make you feel weak, light-headed or dizzy.
  • Avoid antihistamines and decongestant meds.

DURING YOUR FIRST VISIT FOR IV VITAMIN THERAPY INFUSIONS

During the first visit, a nurse or medical assistant will discuss your main complaints and the type of outcome you want to receive. They will review your intake form and any medications you are taking. Based on this assessment, if you have any complex medical conditions, you may need to be seen in person by the nurse practitioner on another date.
