Are IV drips safe? Do I need an appointment?
IV drips are generally safe when administered by medical staff, after an assessment, with sterile materials. Minor reactions may occur (a bruise, a cold sensation). Yes, you need an appointment, which includes a prior medical assessment.
Administered correctly — by qualified medical staff, with sterile materials and after an assessment — IV drips have a good safety profile. Possible reactions are usually minor: a bruise where the cannula was placed, a cold sensation along the vein or mild discomfort.
The prior assessment is important to rule out contraindications (kidney or heart conditions, allergies). That is why we recommend booking an appointment rather than walking in.
At Synerva you can book a session, and the medical assessment is part of the process, for your safety.
