Taking the Fast Lane: Benefits of IV Therapy

Why would we want medicines administered directly through our veins? Simply because this is a much faster route for medication to be administered throughout our body compared to oral medication. Comfort and Care Health Services LLC wants to highlight some benefits of IV Therapy, and as providers of home health services in Chillicothe Ohio, we have gathered 3 benefits that will allow us to think twice on getting IV Therapy.

1. IV therapy can be used to administer different kinds of medicines

   When we think of IVs, we may think of severe treatments for diseases like cancer, congestive heart failure, Crohn’s disease, and all other sorts of diseases. However, IV Therapy can be used for milder conditions as well such as dehydration. There are also vitamins that can be administered intravenously. These drips can sometimes be called vitamin drips. Situations in life call for IVs to be administered because sometimes, our bodies might reject oral medication or we may end up vomiting our oral medications as well.

2. Maximum absorption

   As previously mentioned, our bodies have the tendency to reject oral medication. To remedy this, we administer medications intravenously, and this is also because absorption through IVs is more reliable. This is because medication goes directly to the bloodstream.

3. You can feel almost instant effects

   Being directly administered to the bloodstream, you don’t have to wait weeks for the effects of IV administered medications such as you would with oral medications. With IV administered medications, the effects can be seen within a few days. Of course, several things will still be considered for the IV administered medication to take its normal course of effects.

For more information about IV therapy, we strongly advise you to seek the opinion of your primary care provider. For advice on IV therapy, seek your physician’s recommendation on how IV therapy can benefit you and what possible IV therapy you have.
