To have a safe and effective IV therapy session, it is important that you adhere to the following pre- and post-visit instructions.

Before your appointment:

  • Plan to be at the clinic at least 15 minutes before your infusion to fill out necessary paperwork if you are a first-time patient.
    • If you are a repeat patient, then arrive 5 minutes before infusion.
  • You can take your regular medications as normal on the day of treatment.

After your IV infusion:

  • Continue to wear dressing applied to the IV infusion site for 1 hour to prevent break through bleeding.
  • You can apply cold packs or take naproxen (Aleve) for any post injection/infusion pain.
  • A light meal and 16 ounces of water are recommended after the infusion
