IV injection
Intravenous injection at home
Do you have an acute medical condition or need to be given medications or fluids quickly? If so, an IV may be the right solution for you.
An IV infusion includes:
- Inserting a needle into a vein.
- Infusion of medications or fluids into a vein. *A prescription stating the type of treatment and dosage is required
Benefits of an IV injection:
- Speed of delivery: Medicines or liquids can reach the bloodstream more quickly than through the mouth or rectum.
- Efficiency: An IV can be an effective way to give medications or fluids.
- Convenience: An IV can be more comfortable for patients who cannot or do not prefer to take medications or fluids by mouth.
Tips for a safe IV injection:
- Follow the healthcare technician's instructions carefully.
- Tell your health care technician if you have any allergies or other medical problems.
Additional ideas to make an IV more comfortable:
- You may request to be given an IV in the hand or arm instead of a vein in the wrist.
- You may ask to be given an IV slowly to reduce discomfort.
*The price does not include solutions and medications to be injected
