What a hangover is
A hangover is the set of symptoms some people get after drinking too much. Headache, nausea and feeling tired are common ones, and drinking can also leave you low on fluids.
No drip can promise to undo a night out. This page sticks to what the drip is and how the visit works.
What IV therapy is
IV therapy means fluids, and sometimes vitamins or medicines, given straight into a vein through an IV line. Ours usually goes into a vein in your arm.
The needle only places a tiny, flexible tube in the vein, then comes out. Only the tube stays in while the drip runs.
What's in our Hangover drip
The drip is $220, and add-ins are $25 each. Here's everything in it:
- 1 liter of normal saline
- Toradol
- Zofran
- B12
- B-Complex
- Vitamin C
- Zinc
- Magnesium
How the visit goes
Call or text (385) 301-6279, every day from 9 AM to 8 PM. You'll get a short medical form to fill out.
A nurse or paramedic comes to your home, office or hotel and takes your vitals first. Plan on about 45 to 60 minutes. If anything feels off while the drip runs, tell your nurse right away.
What to tell your nurse first
Toradol is ketorolac, an NSAID. Zofran is ondansetron, a prescription medicine in a class called 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. The rest of the drip is saline (sterile salt water), vitamins and minerals.
MedlinePlus notes that alcohol can make ketorolac's side effects worse. These are the things your nurse needs to hear before the drip starts:
- What you drank, and when you stopped.
- Any pain medicine you've already taken, like ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin.
- A stomach ulcer, or bleeding in your stomach or intestines, now or in the past.
- Kidney or liver disease.
- A blood thinner, or any other medicine you take.
- That you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
- An allergy to aspirin, an NSAID or any other medicine.
- A heart rhythm problem, such as long QT syndrome.
