Recovery from illness takes longer with age. Many patients face dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, or immune suppression after infections. Oral medication and nutrition may be poorly tolerated, making IV infusion a highly effective alternative.
Supporting Energy and Healing
IV infusions can include a mix of electrolytes, vitamins (like B12 and C), and targeted medications. These help reduce inflammation, improve energy levels, and promote tissue repair. For many patients, IV therapy speeds up recovery timelines and prevents relapse.
Avoiding Hospital Readmission
Post-illness complications — such as weakness, dizziness, or re-infection — often lead to emergency room visits. By receiving IV therapy at home, patients avoid unnecessary exposure to germs, long waits, and hospital stress. This proactive care reduces the chances of readmission.
