IV Infusions Q & A

What are IV infusions?

Intravenous or IV infusions are a quick and effective treatment designed to ensure your body is getting the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs. Even if you make a dedicated effort to eat right, some of the nutrients in your food are lost in digestion. The same goes for vitamins you take orally. With IV infusion therapy, however, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients can be sent directly into your bloodstream so your body can reap their full benefits.

Am I a candidate for IV infusions?

IV infusions are for any person who feels their health could use a boost. It’s a powerful restorative treatment that can help you combat a number of issues, including:

  • Stress
  • Chronic exhaustion
  • Headaches
  • Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, including low iron
  • Digestion problems
  • Asthma
  • Allergies
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Neuropathy
  • Cancer pain
  • Weight loss challenges
  • Hangovers

Because it restores your body, IV infusion treatments are ideal for people fighting infections and illnesses, and are often used as a treatment for cancer patients who haven’t responded to traditional treatments. It’s useful in preparing for surgery, and when used post-operatively, it ensures your body has the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs to heal quickly and well. 

Similarly, athletes choose this treatment before events to support their best performance and after events to support recovery. 

What type of IV infusion is right for me?

Not all IV infusion treatments are the same. Some people might need high doses of iron, while others want a blend designed to help them banish work stress and perform excellently in their upcoming presentation. 

The most common IV infusion is the Myers’ cocktail. The vitamins include magnesium, calcium, B-vitamins (including B12), and vitamin C.

At PRP in Philadelphia, Dr. Kauffman tailors this treatment to you. He uses your medical history and takes the time to understand how you’re currently feeling. Armed with that information, he can personalize the IV infusion therapy to what’s best for your specific body.

What should I expect during an IV infusion appointment?

At PRP in Philadelphia, an IV infusion treatment is a therapeutic experience. As you sit comfortably in a chair, Dr. Kauffman gets you set up. Then, you relax as the IV goes to work. It usually takes between 20 minutes and an hour for the full treatment. 

After your infusion, you’ll most likely notice that you feel energized. You can continue on with your usual daily activities immediately afterward.
