Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is IV therapy, and how does it work?
IV therapy involves the administration of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. This allows for 100% absorption of nutrients and rapid rehydration, bypassing the digestive system for immediate results.
2. What conditions or symptoms can IV therapy help with?
IV therapy can assist with various conditions, including dehydration, jet lag, fatigue, immune support, athletic recovery, and general wellness. It can also be used to boost energy, and support recovery from illness.
3. Is IV therapy safe?
Yes, IV therapy is generally safe when administered by qualified healthcare professionals. All procedures at Thrive IV Therapy Limited are performed by trained and experienced clinicians, following strict safety protocols to minimize risks. Before your treatment, our team will review your medical history to ensure the therapy is appropriate for you.
4. How quickly can I receive an IV treatment?
To ensure availability of both a registered nurse and the necessary products, we require 48-72 hours' notice for all IV treatments. However, if you're in need of a same-day appointment, feel free to email us at ThriveIVTherapyLimited@gmail.com, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
5. How long does an IV therapy session take?
Most IV therapy sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific treatment and individual needs. Our team will monitor you throughout the session to ensure your comfort and safety.
6. How often should I receive IV therapy?
The frequency of IV therapy depends on your health goals and specific needs. Some people benefit from weekly treatments, while others may choose to receive therapy monthly or as needed for recovery or wellness. Our healthcare providers can help create a personalized treatment plan for you.
7. Are there any side effects or risks associated with IV therapy?
Common side effects are generally mild and may include bruising, redness, or discomfort at the injection site. Rarely, more serious side effects like infection, allergic reactions, or vein inflammation can occur. We take all necessary precautions to minimize these risks and ensure your safety.
8. Who should avoid IV therapy?
IV therapy may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or those who are pregnant. A health screening questionnaire is required prior to your IV therapy, and will be reviewed by your nurse prior to initiation of therapy.
9. Can I resume normal activities after my IV therapy session?
Yes, most people can return to their regular activities immediately after an IV therapy session. You may feel more hydrated, energized, and refreshed. However, if you experience any side effects, it’s advisable to rest and consult with our team if needed.

We provide detailed invoices that you can submit to your insurance provider or HCSA for potential reimbursement. Coverage may vary depending on your specific plan and provider, so we recommend checking with them directly to determine eligibility.
