The essentials
What is a nutrient IV drip?
An intravenous (IV) drip delivers a fluid formulation directly into a vein through a small tube. Depending on the formulation, it may contain vitamins, minerals or other ingredients.
The delivery
An IV infusion is administered into a vein by a healthcare professional, rather than taken by mouth.
The conversation
Discuss your health history, current medicines and questions with the treating professional before deciding on a session.
