IV Therapy for Dehydration Frequently Asked Questions:

1Is IV hydration better than drinking water?

We always recommend that patients drink water to stay hydrated and healthy. An IV shouldn’t replace your water-drinking habit; it should simply be another tool you use to improve your health! That said, IVs do have a few benefits that make them more efficient than water. Firstly, they contain other ingredients that will improve your health. These include vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes, which your body needs to perform at its best. Your IV hydration therapy will replenish those nutrients in your system and help ensure that you are the healthiest you can be. Additionally, IV therapy floods your cells with fluids and nutrients. This leads to a faster response than simply drinking water because the fluids don’t have to pass through your digestive system. IVs can help you rehydrate instantly when you really need it — but you still should have a glass of water when you’re done.

2When would I need an IV for dehydration?

Dehydration is a contributing factor to many ailments. Therefore, you can use IV therapy to rehydrate your body whenever you need it. If you’re feeling hungover, sick with the flu, or simply tired after a long and stressful week, the rapid rehydration from IV therapy can help you feel much better. However, IV hydration therapy is particularly useful when you’re suffering from severe dehydration. Be aware of the signs and symptoms of this condition, and alert Mobile IV Nurses if you experience any of the following: Extreme thirst No urination or very dark urine Dry mouth, lips, and eyes Fatigue or lightheadedness

3How long does an IV treatment last?

A typical IV treatment gives you enough nutrients to remain healthy and hydrated for about two weeks. Once- or twice-monthly treatments are usually sufficient to improve your overall health and help you avoid dehydration. However, if you are at risk for dehydration — for example, if you’re older, regularly engage in strenuous exercise, or have a condition like diabetes — you may benefit from getting IV hydration therapy more frequently. You can also get hydration treatments when you’re sick, even if you’ve recently had an infusion.

4Can I add medicine to my IV?

Of course! Mobile IV Nurses offers several vitamins and medicines you can add to your treatments to enhance your IV hydration therapy. For example, you can add anti-nausea medication to your IV if you’re suffering from vomiting or queasiness (which is common with migraines, hangovers, and the flu). You can add Pepcid to your IV if you suffer from stomach ulcers. Or, if you simply want an additional energy boost, you can add an extra dose of vitamin B12 to your Myers’ Cocktail.

The registered nurses and paramedics at Mobile IV Nurses have the skills and the experience to help you find the right cocktail for you. Talk to them about your health needs, and they’ll find the IV for dehydration that will make you feel your best.

Mild dehydration may be cured by drinking extra fluids, but more severe cases call for replenishment that only IV therapy can provide.

Many people who have a Myers’ Cocktail report a reduction in symptoms, as well as a decrease in fatigue so they can get back to their normal energy levels again.

Ingredients in a Myers’ Cocktail

A Myers’ Cocktail contains a blend of the following ingredients:

Saline: Each IV contains 1,000cc of normal saline solution, which is basically sterile saltwater. The saline delivers nutrients to the body and replenishes fluids and electrolytes, which is ideal for addressing dehydration. You can order a Myers’ Cocktail with either normal saline or Lactated Ringer’s solution.
Vitamin B12: This vitamin is known for its ability to supply extra energy. B12 relieves fatigue and maintains blood cell and nerve health; it’s also helpful for diminishing the intensity of migraine symptoms.
Vitamin B Complex: This group of B vitamins includes B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), and B6 (pyridoxine). B Complex assists with energy production and cellular metabolism. It also reduces fatigue.
Vitamin C: It’s well known that this vitamin is a powerhouse that supports the immune system. However, vitamin C also supports healthy muscles, bones, and blood vessels. Vitamin C helps the body heal.
Glutathione: Your body needs antioxidants such as glutathione to remain healthy and strong. Antioxidants help prevent free radical damage that causes oxidative stress, which can harm the body at a cellular level. Glutathione may also benefit the immune system.
Magnesium: This mineral promotes healthy cardiovascular and circulatory systems. It can also help alleviate migraine symptoms, and some research suggests that it can help manage symptoms related to anxiety.
Zinc: You can use zinc to help guard against infection, like when you take a zinc supplement at the first sign of a cold. This mineral also helps the body repair damaged tissue.
