5 Little-Known Benefits of IV Drips

When you take medications or supplements, do you use oral delivery methods like pills or gummies? You might be surprised to learn that oral delivery isn’t always the most efficient or efficacious approach. Intravenous (IV) drips offer several benefits over oral delivery systems, which aren’t widely known.

Dr. Bryant S. Edwards and the team at Iconic Infusions, PLLC in Fayetteville, North Carolina, specialize in IV delivery of medications such as ketamine, as well as IV hydration and vitamin supplementation. Why do we champion IV drips as a way to take your medication or supplements? Here are five key reasons why IV treatment could be the best option for you.

1. Safe and sterile treatment

At Iconic Infusions, PLLC, we provide safe, supervised IV therapies in a sterile treatment environment while also offering the relaxing benefits of a medspa. Your provider inserts a small, sterile IV needle into one of your veins and attaches it to a tube that connects to a bag of fluids.

IV treatment is typically well-tolerated by most patients. Our team monitors your entire infusion treatment for any adverse reactions. The only discomfort involved is a mild pinching sensation from the superfine treatment needle.

2. Rapid treatment results

IV therapy causes your infusion treatment to take effect almost immediately. You don’t need to wait for results. As soon as your infusion cocktail enters your veins, it starts to affect you. Your bloodstream sends the fluids directly toward the parts of your body that need them, and the treatment kicks in right away.

For IV treatments like ketamine therapy, this makes your session more predictable and controllable. Treatments like IV hydration boost your wellness faster than drinking water alone. An IV means you don’t have to wait.

3. No loss to digestion

When you take supplements or medications orally, you inevitably lose some amount of the benefit to your digestive process. Oral delivery systems have to pass through your stomach, where they’re absorbed slowly and partially. So, for treatments like IV vitamin therapy, you’re able to efficiently gain the benefits of a high dose of minerals and vitamins without loss during digestive processing.

4. Ideal for chemotherapy support

Many people seek out the benefits of IV therapies. For chemotherapy patients, IV treatment provides notable benefits, including rapid rehydration and effective nutritional supplementation. Your IV cocktail helps you “bounce back” from chemotherapy more quickly and completely, restoring your wellness when you need it the most.

5. Beneficial for patients with reduced digestive capacity

In some cases, you might not be able to fully or effectively absorb fluids or nutrients through your digestive system. If you’ve recently had bariatric surgery or struggle with vomiting, an IV drip may work better for you than other delivery systems for fluids, nutrients, and medications. Food poisoning or a hangover after a big night out can indicate that IV support is the right choice for you.

IV treatment offers many benefits, and at Iconic Infusions, PLLC, you can rest assured that your treatment is safe, sterile, and monitored by medical experts.
