Discharge Instructions for IV Infusion Therapy
How to take care of yourself after your IV Vitamin Therapy infusion. If you have any concerns after your visit, call us at (239) 719-2107.
How to Care for Yourself After Your Infusion
Keep your bandage in place for 1 hour
Leave the band-aid or dressing at the IV site in place for at least one hour after your infusion. This helps the puncture site close properly and prevents bruising.
Apply warm packs if bruising occurs
Some mild bruising at the IV site is normal. A warm pack applied to the area and elevating your arm can help reduce discomfort and resolve bruising more quickly.
Drink at least 1–2 bottles of water
Continue hydrating after your session. Drink at least one to two 16oz bottles of water following your infusion to support your body’s absorption of the nutrients delivered.
Take an Epsom salt bath
An Epsom salt bath can help support the detoxification process, ease any muscle soreness, and enhance your overall sense of relaxation and recovery after your session.
What to Expect
Most patients experience significant improvements after their infusion. Patients commonly report one of two patterns:
Feeling better right away
Many people are chronically dehydrated and nutrient-deficient without realizing it. Once hydrated and replenished, symptoms often improve quickly and significantly. Elevated energy, mental clarity, better sleep, and an overall sense of wellbeing are commonly reported within hours.
Feeling tired or unwell briefly
Some patients feel tired or mildly unwell after their session. This is a normal part of the detoxification process. When toxins are pulled from tissues, they re-enter the bloodstream on their way out. Even when patients don’t feel well at this stage, the process is one of healing. An overall improvement in wellbeing generally follows.
If you feel like you are having an emergency
Call 911 immediately. For non-emergency questions or concerns after your session, call us at (239) 719-2107.
