One of the most common questions we hear is, “are IV drips safe?” At Elevate Wellness in Wichita, our goal is to provide clear, trustworthy answers so you feel confident about your health decisions.
The Safety of IV Hydration Therapy
For most healthy adults, IV therapy is considered safe. The fluids used, such as normal saline or lactated Ringer’s, are the same solutions administered in hospitals every day. When handled by trained professionals, the risks are minimal, and the benefits are often immediate.
Possible Risks and Side Effects
Like any medical treatment, IV drips do have potential side effects. The most common include….
- Mild bruising or discomfort at the insertion site
- Temporary cool sensation in the arm
- Rare allergic reactions to added vitamins or medications
Serious complications are extremely uncommon when therapy is performed by experienced providers. According to the Cleveland Clinic, IV therapy is safe when delivered under professional supervision.
Who Should Be Cautious?
While safe for most people, those with heart disease, kidney conditions, or certain electrolyte imbalances should consult their doctor before scheduling an IV drip. Pregnant women should also seek guidance from their OB/GYN before receiving any IV treatment.
