What’s in a Hangover IV Drip and How Does It Work?

Intravenous (IV) therapy has gained popularity as a quick and effective way to boost health and wellness by delivering essential nutrients, vitamins, and hydration directly into the bloodstream. For those struggling with dehydration, fatigue, or GI distress after a night out, a Hangover IV Drip can provide targeted relief.

According to the NHANES, 65% of adults aged 51–70 in the U.S. do not meet daily hydration requirements, increasing the risk of dehydration-related conditions, including hangovers. IV therapy can effectively address dehydration by delivering fluids and nutrients directly to the bloodstream for immediate absorption.

How Does IV Therapy Work?

IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, allowing for direct and rapid nutrient absorption. This makes it particularly effective for rehydrating the body and delivering targeted nutrients quickly.

Common Uses of IV Therapy:

Hydration: Restores lost fluids and electrolytes.
Energy Boosts: Replenishes B12 and B Complex vitamins to combat fatigue.
Nausea Relief: Reduces GI distress with medications like Zofran.
Pain Relief: Alleviates headaches and muscle aches using anti-inflammatories like Ketorolac.
Liver Support: Helps detoxify the liver with antioxidants like Glutathione.

What’s in the Hangover IV Drip?

The Hangover IV Drip at Biofuse is specifically designed to address hangover symptoms, providing a targeted blend of fluids, vitamins, and medications. Here’s what it includes:

B Complex – 1ml

Supports energy production, metabolism, and nerve function. Alcohol consumption can deplete B vitamins, leading to fatigue and brain fog.

Methylcobalamin (B12) – 2000mcg

Boosts energy levels, reduces fatigue, and supports neurological function. Learn more about how IV therapy helps with energy recovery.

Zofran – 4mg (Max Dose 8mg/day)

An anti-nausea medication that reduces nausea and vomiting, preventing further dehydration.

Pepcid – 20mg

Reduces acid reflux and GI discomfort, easing the stomach after alcohol consumption.

Ketorolac – 15mg (Max Dose 30mg/day, 90mg/week)

Provides fast-acting pain relief for headaches and muscle aches. A second dose may be administered for severe symptoms.

Suggested Add-Ons for Enhanced Recovery

For clients experiencing severe symptoms, additional options include:

Glutathione – 400mg (Up to 2000mg):
A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes toxins and supports liver detoxification. Alcohol consumption can deplete Glutathione, increasing oxidative stress.

Extra Liter of Fluids:
For those experiencing severe dehydration, an additional liter helps replenish lost fluids and electrolytes.

Additional Zofran (4mg):
A second dose for ongoing nausea relief, administered as needed.

Additional Ketorolac (15mg):
For persistent headaches and body pain, ensuring maximum pain relief without exceeding dosage limits.

Taurine:
Supports liver function and hydration, reducing inflammation.

Lipo+ Injection:
Assists in liver detox and metabolic support, ideal for post-alcohol recovery.

How the Hangover IV Drip Works

Patient Preparation:
- Prior to the infusion, clients complete a health assessment to determine the appropriate IV blend and any necessary add-ons.
Infusion Process:
- The IV catheter is inserted into a suitable vein, typically in the arm.
- The Hangover IV solution is administered over 30-90 minutes, depending on the severity of symptoms and the amount of fluids required.
- Vital signs are monitored throughout to ensure client safety and comfort.
Symptom Relief and Monitoring:
- Zofran is administered to reduce nausea, while Pepcid addresses GI distress.
- B Complex and B12 work to restore energy levels, while Ketorolac reduces headache and muscle pain.
- Glutathione may be added to detoxify the liver and neutralize toxic by-products of alcohol.
Post-Infusion Care:
- The IV catheter is removed, and the insertion site is dressed.
- Clients are advised to rest, hydrate, and monitor symptoms.
- If symptoms persist, a second liter of fluids or additional medication may be administered.
