Why IV Therapy?

Learn how IV vitamin infusions work, what they contain, and which treatment might be right for you. Every service is administered by experienced registered nurses under physician oversight.

What Is IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV (intravenous) vitamin therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a small IV line. Because the nutrients skip the digestive system entirely, your body absorbs close to 100% of what it receives โ€” compared to as little as 10โ€“20% from oral supplements.

This makes IV therapy one of the most effective ways to replenish your body quickly โ€” whether you're fighting fatigue, recovering from illness, supporting athletic performance, or simply maintaining your best health.

At Vital Flow, all treatments are administered by licensed registered nurses and overseen by our physician medical director, so you can feel confident you're in safe, expert hands.

2

Meet Your Nurse

Your registered nurse reviews your goals and answers any questions before getting started.

3

Relax During Treatment

Common Questions

Is IV therapy safe?

Yes โ€” when administered by licensed medical professionals. At Vital Flow, every infusion is delivered by experienced registered nurses under physician oversight. All first-time clients receive a Good Faith Consultation to ensure the treatment is right for them.

How is IV therapy different from taking vitamins by mouth?

When you take vitamins orally, your digestive system absorbs only a fraction of the nutrients โ€” often less than 20%. IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream, achieving near 100% absorption so your body gets the full benefit immediately.

How long does a session take?

Most IV infusions take 45โ€“65 minutes. Some advanced therapies like NAD+ or Iron Infusions take longer (140โ€“260 minutes). IM shots are typically just 15 minutes.

How will I feel afterward?

Many clients feel a noticeable boost in energy, hydration, and mental clarity within hours of their infusion. Some may feel calm or slightly tired at first as the body absorbs and processes the nutrients โ€” this is completely normal.

How often should I get an IV infusion?

It depends on your personal goals. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, others prefer monthly maintenance. Our nurses will help you find the right schedule during your consultation.

Do I need a prescription?

Most of our infusions do not require a prescription. Iron Infusions are the exception and do require a prescription. All first-time clients complete a Good Faith Consultation with a medical provider before their first treatment.

โš•๏ธ Medical Weight Loss โ€” Patient Guide

How to Dose & Administer Your Tirzepatide Injection

This guide is for patients currently enrolled in our Tirzepatide weight loss program. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your Nurse Practitioner. When in doubt, call our team before administering.

โš ๏ธ

Important Safety Notice

Tirzepatide is a prescription medication overseen by our Nurse Practitioner. Only administer the dose prescribed to you. Never share your medication. Contact our office immediately if you experience severe nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or signs of an allergic reaction.

๐Ÿ’‰

One Vial โ€” Two Medications

Your Tirzepatide and L-Carnitine are compounded together in the same vial. You only need one injection per week to receive both medications โ€” there is no need to draw from separate vials or combine them yourself.

๐Ÿงฐ What You'll Need

๐Ÿ“ฆ All supplies provided & mailed to your home

Tirzepatide + L-Carnitine compounded vial (as dispensed)

Appropriate syringe (1ml insulin syringe recommended)

Alcohol swabs

Empty plastic bottle with screw-on lid (for needle disposal)

Clean, well-lit surface

๐Ÿ’‰ How to Draw Up Your Injection

1

Wash Your Hands

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before handling any supplies.

2

Gather & Inspect Supplies

Check the vial label to confirm it is your medication and the correct concentration. Inspect the solution โ€” it should be clear and colorless. Do not use if cloudy, discolored, or contains particles.

3

Clean the Vial Top

Wipe the rubber stopper of the vial with a fresh alcohol swab and allow it to air dry for 10โ€“15 seconds.

4

Draw Air Into the Syringe

Pull the plunger back to draw air into the syringe equal to your prescribed dose. Common doses: 0.25ml (2.5mg), 0.5ml (5mg or 10mg), 0.6ml (12.5mg), 0.75ml (7.5mg or 15mg). Always confirm your exact dose with your NP.

5

Insert Needle Into Vial

Insert the needle straight down through the center of the rubber stopper. Push the air from the syringe into the vial โ€” this creates positive pressure and makes drawing easier.

6

Draw Your Dose

Invert the vial (turn it upside down) while keeping the needle tip below the liquid. Slowly pull back the plunger to your prescribed dose. Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the syringe and pushing bubbles out.

7

Remove the Needle

Pull the needle straight out of the vial. Set the vial down and prepare to inject. Do not let the needle touch any surface.

๐ŸŽฏ How to Administer the Injection

1

Choose Your Injection Site

Tirzepatide is administered as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. Recommended sites: abdomen (at least 2 inches from your belly button), outer thigh, or back of the upper arm. Rotate sites weekly to prevent irritation.

2

Clean the Injection Site

Wipe the selected area with a fresh alcohol swab using a circular motion. Allow to dry completely for 10โ€“15 seconds โ€” injecting through wet skin increases discomfort.

3

Pinch the Skin

Gently pinch a fold of skin between your thumb and forefinger at the injection site. This lifts the subcutaneous tissue away from the muscle.

4

Insert the Needle

Hold the syringe like a pencil at a 45โ€“90ยฐ angle to the skin. Insert the needle quickly and smoothly using a dart-like motion. A 45ยฐ angle is preferred for leaner injection sites; 90ยฐ works well for the abdomen.

5

Inject the Medication

Slowly and steadily push the plunger all the way down to deliver the full dose. Do not rush โ€” slow injection reduces discomfort.

6

Remove & Dispose

Release the pinched skin, then remove the needle at the same angle it was inserted. Apply gentle pressure with a clean swab if needed โ€” do not rub. Place the used syringe needle-first into an empty plastic pop bottle, screw the lid on tightly, and dispose of in the trash.

๐Ÿ“… Dosing Schedule & Dose Progression

Tirzepatide is administered once weekly on the same day each week. Your Nurse Practitioner will determine your starting dose and escalation schedule based on your individual health profile, tolerance, and response to treatment. Doses are increased gradually to minimize side effects and maximize results.
