IV therapy delivers water, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins at a controlled rate. The procedure typically lasts between 45 minutes to an hour. That said, the procedure can be done more quickly or even take longer, depending on why you are undergoing the IV therapy.
For instance, if you’re receiving IV therapy for hydration or to cure a hangover, you can expect results anywhere from 45 minutes to four hours after treatment. If your purpose is to boost your energy levels, the effects of IV infusion therapy can be noticed within four days to two weeks after treatment.
IV therapy works by using an injection with a syringe or via infusion, often referred to as a drip. IV therapy is the fastest way to deliver medications, blood products and more into the bloodstream to help with various health conditions, dehydration and blood transfusions.
