Quick Intro

What Is a “Hangover Relief IV”?

A supportive, clinic-based IV aimed at rehydration and symptom relief after alcohol use. Following a brief medical check, the doctor may recommend:

  • Fluids + electrolytes to restore balance
  • Adjunct vitamins/minerals (case-by-case)
  • Symptom-targeted medications (e.g., for nausea or headache) only if clinically appropriate
Ingredients and dosing are individualized after the exam. Not all patients are candidates.

Who It May Help

  • Headache, fatigue, dizziness related to dehydration after a night out
  • Nausea and poor oral intake
  • Jet-lagged travelers who also drank and feel run-down
  • Busy schedules needing same-day supportive care with clear English guidance


Safety First (Important)

A Hangover Relief IV is supportive, not a cure. Seek urgent/emergency care instead of an IV if you have confusion, fainting, seizures, black or bloody vomit/stool, severe chest/abdominal pain, or you suspect alcohol poisoning.

Tell the doctor if you:

  • Are pregnant/breastfeeding
  • Have kidney, heart, or liver conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, arrhythmias
  • Have G6PD deficiency or significant drug allergies
  • Take diuretics/anticoagulants or have recently had major surgery

Possible mild effects: brief chill/flush, metallic taste, small bruise at IV site. Seek care if you develop persistent dizziness, chest pain, or breathing difficulty.


Visit Flow (Typically 60–90 Minutes)

  1. Check-in & history → symptoms, medications, allergies, last alcohol intake.
  2. Focused exam → vitals; point-of-care tests if needed.
  3. Plan & consent → candidacy confirmed, IV components selected, clear pricing.
  4. IV session → 30–60 minutes in a comfortable room with monitoring.
  5. Discharge guidance → easy after-care in English; prescriptions if indicated.


After-Care Tips

  • Hydrate with water or oral rehydration solution for the next 24 hours.
  • Light meals (bananas, broth, toast, eggs) as tolerated.
  • Rest and avoid further alcohol until fully recovered.
  • Follow up if symptoms persist, you have repeated vomiting, or underlying conditions.


What to Expect (Realistic Outcomes)

  • Many people feel steadier and clearer as hydration improves over hours to the next day.
  • Response varies by sleep, nutrition, baseline health, and alcohol amount.
  • Best results come with rest, hydration, and balanced meals.

FAQs

Is a Hangover IV a cure?
No. It provides supportive care (hydration and symptom relief). Severe symptoms require urgent evaluation.

How fast will I feel better?
Some feel improvement within hours to a day as hydration normalizes. Individual results vary.

Can I get it the morning after?
Yes—if you’re a candidate after the medical check. Timing is decided by the physician.

Can I drive afterward?
Most people can resume normal activity, but plan a light day. If you’re still woozy, don’t drive.

How often can I have a Hangover IV?
Frequency is history-dependent. The doctor will advise safe intervals and discuss alcohol-use risks if relevant.

Does it help nausea?
IV hydration may help. Anti-nausea medication may be added only if appropriate after the exam.
