IV therapy
A moment to pause.
A reason to assess.
Explore hydration and supplementation with a clinician who starts by asking what your body actually needs.
WITH TATIANA VALDERRAMA, APN-BC
Let’s talk about iv therapy
The evaluation comes before the infusion.
Intravenous treatment delivers fluids or medicines through a line into a vein. The contents, amount, and whether treatment is appropriate should be determined through a medical assessment. [1]
If you are interested in IV therapy at Linea, explain what you are experiencing and why you are considering it. Your consultation should review your health, current medicines, and whether oral hydration, testing, or another type of care would be more appropriate. Ask for a clear explanation of each proposed ingredient.
Your treatment, explained
Hydration, vitamins, and optional ingredients
IV therapy is a route of treatment, not a diagnosis. A bag of fluid with added ingredients should have a reason for each component. Ask whether the goal is addressing a documented need, supporting hydration in a particular situation, or something else—and whether an oral option would be sufficient.
Linea’s earlier menu included glutathione and NAD. If you are interested in either, confirm current availability and discuss the evidence, formulation, and risks before booking. An infusion should not be described as a guaranteed detox, immune boost, or reversal of aging. FDA has reported safety concerns with ingredients used in compounded NAD and glutathione injectables. [3][4]
Your treatment, explained
What to discuss before treatment
Tell the clinician about previous reactions to infusions, difficulty with blood draws, allergies, fluid restrictions, and your current medicines. Mention symptoms that have not been evaluated rather than choosing a formula to match them yourself.
Before treatment begins, ask how you will be monitored and what you should report during the infusion. Afterward, follow the instructions provided and contact the practice about concerns. Persistent or worsening symptoms need an appropriate medical evaluation, even if you have already received an infusion.

Know what to expect before you book.
Timing & follow-up
The length of a visit depends on the assessment and proposed treatment. Any follow-up should be based on your needs and response. Ask about expected benefits without assuming that a single infusion will address ongoing fatigue or other unexplained symptoms.
Suitability & safety
IV treatment can involve infection and other complications. FDA has highlighted risks when sterile products are compounded under unsuitable conditions. Discuss allergies, heart or kidney conditions, fluid restrictions, and all medications with your clinician. [2]

Questions
we hear often.
Do I need IV vitamins if I feel tired?
Fatigue has many possible causes. An evaluation can help determine whether testing or another form of care is needed before considering an infusion.
What is in the infusion?
Ask for the exact ingredients and amounts proposed for you. Your provider should explain the purpose and risks of each component.
Is this an alternative to emergency care?
No. Severe dehydration, fainting, confusion, chest pain, or breathing difficulty requires urgent medical assessment.
Can everyone receive an IV?
No. Your medical history, medicines, and current condition can make IV treatment inappropriate. A clinician must assess suitability.
Are NAD and glutathione available?
They appeared on Linea’s earlier menu. Call to confirm current availability and arrange an assessment. The clinician should explain the proposed formulation and its evidence and risks before treatment.
Is IV therapy better than drinking fluids?
Not automatically. The appropriate route depends on the medical situation. Your clinician should explain why an IV is being considered and whether oral hydration or another approach would be suitable.
