All IV Infusions are administered by RN’s trained in DRIPHAWAIIs’ strict protocols and standards of practice. The general process for the administration of an IV vitamin infusion bag is as follows: 

• The individual will be seated or laying down comfortably. 
• A tourniquet should be applied to the upper arm or forearm so that veins below the tourniquet become visible and distended. 
• Once an appropriate vein has been selected, the RN will thoroughly wipe the skin with an alcohol-based solution. 
• After the skin is dry, an appropriately sized needle or cannula is used to establish an IV line. 
• Once the IV line is set, the bag can then be connected to the IV line so that its contents flow into the patient. The rate at which the bag empties through the IV into the body varies; generally, the IV vitamin bags are set to flow for about 30 – 45 minutes.

There are no clearly set limits regarding how frequently an individual can receive an IV vitamin infusion. These mostly depend on the needs and realistic goals of the patient; as well as the patient’s wellness budget, medical history, etc.

The effects and metabolism of the nutrients can last differently in each individual. Generally, most patients claim benefits lasting from 10-14 days. For those that find a monthly IV Drip is most beneficial also maintain in-between weekly vitamin shots.

After your first initial visit and medical intake form, most DRIP HAWAII IV Drip’s can take 45 min to 1 hour to complete.

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but we strive to stick everyone just once with our experienced Registered Nurses. That said, some patients are considered “hardpokes’ where the veins are very thin or dehydrated. In that case, an additional stick (try) may be necessary. If the patient decides to try on another day when they feel they are more hydrated or comfortable, there is no cancellation fee and our vitamin shot menu will be offered at 40% off. (At time of visit )

All of our vitamins are FDA-approved and go through high levels of testing. All IV Drips are administered by a registered nurse and performed under a medical director. Before a client receives IV therapy, their health history is evaluated.
Side effects from an IV drip are generally non-existent or very mild. On occasion, you may experience some discomfort, bruising, itching, inflammation, or redness at or around the site of injection, and this could last from a few minutes to several days. However, true allergic reactions are extremely rare.
