Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about IV therapy at Bakari-Health.

What is IV drip therapy?

IV drip therapy is a wellness treatment that delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. This allows for rapid absorption compared to oral supplements.

How long does an IV drip appointment take?

Most appointments take between 45 and 60 minutes, including your health assessment, IV administration and post-treatment monitoring.

Is IV therapy safe?

Yes. At Bakari Health, all treatments are administered by a Registered Nurse using sterile, single-use equipment. Every client undergoes a health assessment before treatment to ensure IV therapy is appropriate and safe.

Do I need a consultation before treatment?

Yes. Before receiving any IV drip, you'll complete a brief medical questionnaire and have a consultation with our Registered Nurse. This helps us recommend the most suitable treatment while prioritising your safety.

How soon will I feel the effects?

Many clients report feeling refreshed and hydrated within a few hours. Depending on the type of drip and your individual health needs, some benefits may become noticeable over the next 24–48 hours.

Which IV drip is right for me?

Our Registered Nurse will recommend the most suitable drip based on your health goals, symptoms, medical history and current medications. We also offer customised IV drips tailored to your individual needs.

Can I customise my IV drip?

Yes. We offer customised IV drips designed around your wellness goals. Following your assessment, our Registered Nurse can recommend vitamins and nutrients that best suit your needs.

What conditions can IV therapy help support?

Our IV drips are designed to support hydration, immune health, energy levels, recovery after exercise, general wellness, skin health and recovery after travel or social events. IV therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure medical conditions.

Who should not receive IV therapy?

IV therapy may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, including some heart, kidney or liver conditions, or those with allergies to any ingredients used. Eligibility will be determined during your health assessment.

Can I receive IV therapy if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
