Detox Infusion Therapy (IV drip)

Yes, infusion therapy is safe when it is carried out under the supervision of a qualified specialist and your state of health is taken into account. At our clinic, your blood pressure, pulse and general condition are checked before the treatment; if needed, previous illnesses, medications and possible contraindications are discussed; infusion mixtures are prepared on site, which ensures an accurate composition and quality; and a specialist stays with you throughout the treatment, making sure you feel well and safe. As with any health-supporting treatment, infusion therapy can very rarely have side effects, such as redness around the cannula site, mild tiredness or a metallic taste in the mouth. These pass quickly. If you have a chronic condition (e.g. kidney or heart failure) or are pregnant, please be sure to consult our specialist beforehand; this helps ensure maximum safety and the right approach for you.

Most people feel only a slight prick at the start, when the IV cannula is inserted. It is very similar to having a routine blood test: brief discomfort that lasts only a few seconds. During the treatment the drip runs slowly and steadily, and there is usually no pain or discomfort. If you do feel any stinging, coldness or pressure, let our specialist know straight away; we can adjust the infusion rate or make other changes as needed. Most patients find the whole treatment relaxing and pleasant and use the time to unwind or rest.

How often depends on your state of health, your goal and the type of infusion chosen. The general principles are as follows. One-off course or pick-me-up: if you want support after an illness, a stressful period or fatigue, 1–2 treatments a week apart are often enough. Longer-term prevention and well-being support: if you want to strengthen your immunity or support your body regularly, an infusion can be given once every 2–4 weeks. Special treatment course (e.g. to support skin condition or energy levels): for specific goals we draw up a personal plan, often starting with 3–4 consecutive treatments over 1–2 weeks and then continuing with a maintenance schedule.

In infusion therapy, the mixture is always prepared with your needs and safety limits in mind. Our specialists use safe, clinically proven amounts to avoid overdoses or side effects. Water-soluble vitamins (e.g. vitamin C, B vitamins, folic acid) do not build up in the body; any excess is excreted in the urine. This is why overdosing on them is very rare and generally harmless. Larger amounts may temporarily cause mild nausea, diarrhoea (especially with oral vitamin C) and, rarely, a headache or a feeling of warmth during the infusion (at our clinic a specialist monitors the treatment to prevent this).

In most cases blood tests are not needed if you are healthy and having the treatment for preventive or restorative purposes (e.g. improving skin condition, strengthening immunity, fatigue, stress or recovery). Our specialist assesses your current condition on site: we measure your blood pressure and pulse, assess how you feel overall and take into account any previous illnesses or complaints. When might a blood test be needed? If you have chronic conditions (e.g. kidney or liver problems, diabetes), previously diagnosed vitamin or mineral deficiencies or excesses, a suspicion that your body does not absorb nutrients well, or would like a personalised course (e.g. determining your exact need for vitamin C, B12 or vitamin D), we may recommend blood tests to draw up a more precise and safer plan.
