IV Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy delivers fluids or other ingredients through a vein. Our Milton options include Niagen (NR), NAD+, and other infusions selected through a clinical assessment.
How does IV therapy work?
An infusion delivers the selected solution through a small catheter in a vein. The team explains the ingredients, visit process, and monitoring before treatment.
Is IV therapy safe?
Your visit starts with a review of your health history and the proposed infusion. Suitability and risks depend on the ingredients and your health; our team can explain both before you decide.
How long does an IV therapy session take?
Visit length depends on the infusion, assessment, and monitoring. Ask our team about the expected time for your chosen option when booking.
How quickly will I feel the effects of IV therapy?
Experience varies by person and infusion. Tell us what you hope to address so we can discuss what evidence supports the treatment, realistic expectations, and whether another approach may suit you better.
Do you take walk-ins for IV therapy?
Yes. IV therapy at OlympusMD Wellness is available for walk-ins. If you’re on a tight schedule, calling ahead is recommended so we can have your infusion ready when you arrive.
What are the benefits of IV therapy?
IV fluids can address hydration needs in appropriate clinical circumstances. Benefits of additional ingredients depend on the formulation and reason for use. Our team can explain the evidence relevant to your goals.
Who is a good candidate for IV therapy?
Start with an assessment of your goals and health history. Persistent fatigue, headaches, or other symptoms may need evaluation before selecting an infusion.
Who should not receive IV therapy?
Individuals with certain conditions, such as kidney disease, heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or electrolyte disorders, may not be suitable candidates. Pregnant patients and those on specific medications should consult a provider first.
What types of IV infusions do you offer?
Our Milton options include Niagen (NR) IV, NAD+ IV, and hydration and vitamin infusions following clinical assessment. Ask about current formulations, ingredients, and pricing.
How often should I get IV therapy?
Frequency depends on the reason for treatment and your response. Your clinician can explain whether a repeat visit is appropriate and when to reassess.
Is IV therapy better than oral supplements?
A different delivery route does not automatically produce better health outcomes. The right approach depends on the clinical need; discuss food, oral options, and other alternatives with your provider.
Are there side effects from IV therapy?
Potential risks include bruising, irritation, infection, allergic reactions, and fluid or electrolyte problems. Risks vary by infusion and individual health. Ask the team what to watch for and how to contact them after your visit.
How much does IV therapy cost?
The cost of IV therapy varies depending on the type of infusion and customization. Patients receive transparent pricing during their consultation so they can choose the option that best fits their needs.
Do I need an appointment for IV therapy?
Appointments are recommended but not required, as walk-ins are accepted. Scheduling in advance helps reduce wait times and ensures infusion availability, especially during busy periods.
