What is IV Therapy?

IV treatment means injection of fluids, which may include vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other healthy fluids into your vein with the help of a small catheter. This is an efficient way of quickly absorbing and having high bioavailability of the supplements as compared to oral supplements. Examples of common IV combinations are vitamin C, a combination of B-complex vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and glutathione, which have the effect of boosting the energy, assisting in immune support, neutralizing toxins, and improving skin conditions. At Gastro NYC, we tailor the IV therapy formulas according to your health targets so that you can get the maximum benefits and feel well as a whole.

What Happens During an IV Therapy Session?

Gastro NYC prescribes medical management of your condition prior to treatment through review of your medical history and allergies. During this time you will have a comfortable seat and the area of injection cleaned and prepared. An injection of a small catheter in a vein will take place, which involves a little pain most of the time. The nutritious fluids are then slowly dripped over a period of 20-60 minutes after which you may spend the time resting or doing activities which are not demanding. The catheter is then removed after the infusion and a dressing is applied. A short period of observation will be given to you to assure that you feel well, before you go out of the clinic.

What to Expect After IV Therapy?

The majority of patients after IV therapy should feel more energized, have a clearer mentality and get hydrated properly. Most people also record changes in the condition of their skin and in their well-being. The IV-therapy aids the immune system and may speed up the recovery process or the healing of illness or fatigue. The team of Gastro NYC may advise multiple sessions to ensure lasting outcomes. One should also be well hydrated and live healthy to realize the full potential of the treatment.

Are There Any Risks or Side Effects?

IV therapy is usually safe when administered by a licensed professional as well as a sterile environment. The injections have relatively few side effects which may include mild bruising, redness or soreness on the area where they are injected. It is quite unusual to experience dizziness or allergic reactions to it, this is why it is important to tell about your medical history and allergies in advance. In case something out-of-ordinary occurs to you following a treatment, visit your physician as soon as possible. The Gastro NYC staff guarantees professional observation to reduce the risks.
