Quick Intro

VEI Clinic Apgujeong is an English-friendly internal-medicine clinic in Gangnam offering same-day IV therapy with doctor oversight. We’re on the 3rd floor of Beneheim City, 162 Apgujeong-ro, a short walk from Apgujeong Station (Exit 5).


What Is a “Liver Support IV”?

A clinic-supervised infusion focused on hydration plus physician-selected nutrients that support general metabolism and wellness when you’re run-down from travel, stress, or poor oral intake. It is not a treatment for liver disease. Your exact plan is individualized after a brief medical check.


Typical components (case-by-case):

  • Balanced IV fluids for rehydration
  • Electrolytes as appropriate
  • Adjunct nutrients (e.g., select B-vitamins/minerals) only if clinically suitable
  • Optional antioxidant support may be discussed; some ingredients are not appropriate for everyone and some uses are off-label. Your physician will advise.
We do not claim IVs “detox” the liver or cure disease. If lab evaluation or medications are more important for your situation, we’ll guide you.

Who It May Help

  • Feeling sluggish after long flights, events, or irregular meals
  • Post-illness low energy when drinking enough fluids is hard
  • Busy travelers seeking English-friendly supportive care in central Gangnam

When to Seek Urgent or Specialist Care (Skip an IV Clinic)

Go to an ER or your specialist if you have yellowing of the eyes/skin (jaundice), severe right-upper-abdominal pain, confusion, persistent vomiting, black/bloody stool, fever with chills, or known liver disease with sudden worsening (e.g., abdominal swelling, bleeding). Those signs require urgent evaluation, not a wellness drip.


Visit Flow (Typically 60–90 Minutes)

  1. Check-in & history → symptoms, alcohol/med history, supplements, allergies.
  2. Focused exam → vitals; point-of-care tests if needed.
  3. Plan & consent → candidacy confirmed, components/dose selected, clear pricing reviewed.
  4. IV session → 30–60 minutes in a comfortable room with monitoring.
  5. Discharge guidance → simple after-care in clear English; follow-up plan if indicated.


Safety Notes & Interactions

Tell the doctor if you have kidney, heart, or liver disease, uncontrolled hypertension, G6PD deficiency, a history of kidney stones, or if you take diuretics/anticoagulants or other prescription meds.
 Common mild effects: brief chill/flush, metallic taste, small bruise at IV site. Seek care for persistent dizziness, chest pain, or breathing difficulty.


After-Care Tips

  • Hydrate (water or oral rehydration) for the next 24 hours.
  • Choose light, balanced meals (lean protein, vegetables, complex carbs).
  • Avoid alcohol while you recover; resume only if your clinician says it’s safe.
  • If you were advised to check labs (e.g., liver panel), schedule them as instructed.


What to Bring

  • Photo ID (passport if visiting)
  • Medication & supplement list (+ any known allergies)
  • Any recent labs/test results
  • A brief symptom timeline (onset, alcohol/med exposure, travel)

FAQs

Will this “detox” my liver?
No IV can replace your liver’s natural detox pathways. We focus on hydration and supportive care. If you need medical treatment or lab work, we’ll advise.

Do you treat hepatitis or fatty liver with IVs?
No. Those require medical evaluation, monitoring, and targeted therapies. We can coordinate referrals and lab testing if appropriate.

Can I get this after heavy drinking?
Possibly, but only if you’re a safe candidate after screening. Severe symptoms (confusion, vomiting blood, chest pain, fainting) need urgent care, not an IV clinic.

Do you offer N-acetylcysteine (NAC) drips?
 IV NAC is a prescription, hospital-grade therapy for specific indications (e.g., acetaminophen overdose). It’s not a routine wellness infusion and would be used only when medically indicated.

How fast will I feel better?
Many people feel more steady and clear-headed within hours to a day as hydration improves; results vary with sleep, nutrition, alcohol/med exposure, and baseline health.
