How long do IV drip treatments take?

Our IV drip treatments typically last between 30 – 45 minutes depending on a variety of factors that differ based on the individual.  Our NAD+ takes 3 – 4 hours per session to administer.

I would like IV therapy now, how fast can I get an IV treatment?

In general, Westside Wellness, can have a nurse come to your home or office within just a few hours of booking an appointment.  We recommend booking an appointment in advance of an event to ensure that you receive your desired time slot.  If you have an urgent need and we do not have an immediate time available we can reach out to our off-duty nurses to treat you.  This comes with an extra $49 charge if we can accommodate.

Below is a list of ingredients that can either be added to your IV therapy (IV) or be given as an intramuscular shot (IM).  When you are booking your appointment you can select which medicines you want added or you can tell your nurse when she arrives.

What are your most popular iv vitamin drips?

Our most popular IV vitamin drips are the Super Immune Boost, Hangover Rescue and the Wellness (Myers Cocktail).

Why does at home (mobile) IV therapy cost as much as it does?

Three primary reasons:

  1. IV vitamin therapy is a medical procedure that needs to be reviewed and approved by our highly trained staff of medical professionals.  A medical doctor needs to approve your IV therapy and then it can be administered by a registered nurse.
  2. Our mobile concierge service has a registered nurse come to your house within just a few hours.
  3. We only use high-quality medical grade ingredients in our IV therapy.  In addition, we use large doses (within clinical dose range) of these vitamins to ensure maximum benefits.
Do you take insurance?

Unfortunately, we do not take insurance at this time. We strive to provide our IV services at a reasonable price that ensures the highest level of quality and care.

Does Westside Wellness offer IV therapy at special events?

Yes! We do everything from birthday parties, corporate events, retreats, bachelor/bachelorette parties, conventions, etc. Check out our event page here and let us know how we can best serve at your next event!

What is your refund policy?

All reservations canceled within 24-hrs will be fully refunded, any cancellations less than 24 hrs will incur a $75.00 fee. For NAD cancellations less than 24hrs there will be a $250.00 charge due to the drastic difference in price and duration of the drip.

Should I tip my registered nurse?

In addition to the concierge service of coming to your location, a gratuity is greatly appreciated for all of the hard work and dedication from our registered nurses every day.

Do you offer memberships or discounts?

Yes, you can save up to 20% on your IV therapy and get extra benefits with our monthly wellness membership club.  This helps you stay consistent with IV vitamin therapy to ensure you are feeling better, looking better or performing better!  Receive a discount and other club benefits in exchange for an on-going treatment schedule. You also receive savings on boosters, family and friends discounts, savings on additional drips you may want each month and many other benefits.  You can see our various monthly membership IV therapy plans here.

Who cannot get IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV therapy is usually contraindicated in people with kidney disease and heart conditions who may not be able to process large amounts of vitamins and minerals at once as it may interfere with electrolyte and fluid balance in the body.  Also, if you are under 18 years old or pregnant then IV vitamin therapy is not something that Westside Wellness offers at this time. If you have any questions, please contact us and we can evaluate if IV vitamin therapy is recommended for you.  Lastly, if you currently have COVID, for the safety of our nurses, we currently do not offer our services.  After you test negative, please contact us and we can provide IV therapy to help you recover.

What is the difference between IV vitamin infusion and IVP?

The main difference between the two is the amount of time it takes and how much hydration is provided.

“IVP”- Intravenous (through the vein) push method is the same as an IV except for the vitamins are in their concentrated form and are pushed directly into the vein via a syringe for about 3-5 minutes by a Westside Wellness registered nurse.

“IV” – Intravenous (through the vein) method of administering medications into the body. The vitamins are diluted into fluids and hung by gravity to drip slowly into the vein for about 30-45 minutes by a Westside Wellness registered nurse

If you are unsure if you want or need either an ‘IVP’ or ‘IV’, one of our RN’s will be happy to talk with you about what might be best for your situation.

IV Therapy Questions


  • How do IV drips work?
How do IV drips work?

Intravenous (IV) fluid drips deliver saline solution through a small catheter and tubing directly into the bloodstream. This solution usually includes medications and vitamin supplements that are tailored to the individual client.  During therapy, the nurse inserts an IV line which is attached to a bag of saline solution. The bag is then hung on a pole above the client’s head. IV therapy bags are designed to let gravity, as opposed to a syringe or other forced technique, carry fluid into the veins over time.  The duration of a single treatment varies from person to person, but typically lasts 30 – 45 minutes.   You can learn more about IV therapy with our IV Hydration Therapy 101 here.

  • What are the benefits of IV drip therapy?
What are the benefits of IV drip therapy?

IV drip therapy is one of the most effective ways to deliver nutrients, vitamins, and fluids to your body, and is more efficient than oral supplements. This technique bypasses your digestive system and is administered directly into your bloodstream. Your body is able to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients and fluids since nothing is lost as a result of the digestive process. In addition, vitamins and nutrients become immediately available to your cells for use for fast results.

Westside Wellness offers twelve unique IV blends, each tailored to address a specific set of health goals. We also offer custom-blended IV treatments based on your needs. This means that you can improve your overall wellness by targeting your individual needs.

  • Who should get IV drip therapy?
Who should get IV drip therapy?

Students, families, business professionals, and athletes are just a few of the types of people who can benefit from IV drip therapy. IV drip therapy can help improve overall health and wellbeing, boost energy levels, recover from illnesses more quickly, and address a variety of specific health targets and goals.

You are always welcome to call us if you are unsure if IV therapy is right for you. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about our services.

  • Why are vitamins and antioxidants important?
Why are vitamins and antioxidants important?

Our bodies need a consistent amount of vitamins and minerals to promote homeostasis and optimal health. Vitamin deficiencies can contribute to a variety of acute and long-term conditions.  Antioxidants are an essential part of maintaining a healthy immune system, detoxifying your body and removing free radicals that can contribute to cellular damage. Antioxidants also play a role in energy production.

  • Is IV hydration therapy as good as drinking water?
Is IV hydration therapy as good as drinking water?

IV hydration is more efficient in many ways than drinking water alone.  The IV hydration therapy process offers you a quicker way to deliver fluids directly into the bloodstream and as such is more effective than drinking ordinary water. The difference is that IV fluids comprise a saline solution made of vital vitamins and minerals that help restore your body’s water-electrolytes balance at a cellular level.

  • How does one typically feel after IV therapy?
How does one typically feel after IV therapy?

This can be dependent on a variety of reasons such as the individual’s physical condition, hydration status and needs, metabolism, etc. Most people, however, start to feel the positive effects right away as the IV fluids replenish vitamins and electrolytes immediately. Some people also feel energized and refreshed!

  • How long does IV vitamin therapy stay in your system?
How long does IV vitamin therapy stay in your system?

Depending on how quickly your body metabolizes and uses the vitamins, the effects can be felt for approximately three days to a week. Some may feel the benefits longer but it is all dependent upon a number of different factors such as the type of drip you get, reason for drip, lifestyle, etc.

  • What should you do after an receiving IV therapy?
What should you do after an receiving IV therapy?

Relax and enjoy the benefits of your IV Vitamin therapy treatment! There is no standardized “post” care after IV therapy so you can go about your day as usual.

  • How frequently can I get an infusion?
How frequently can I get an infusion?

Depending on the infusion, some patients get an IV infusion up to twice a week. You have the option to do weekly, biweekly or monthly treatments depending on your individual needs. We recommend getting an IV when you feel the need to boost your energy levels, boost your immune system, travel frequently, or just want to maintain optimal health.

  • Can I just take vitamins by mouth instead of getting IV vitamin therapy?
Can I just take vitamins by mouth instead of getting IV vitamin therapy?

Yes, you can take oral supplements, however they need to be digested and absorbed through your  GI tract. During that process, up to 80% of the nutritional value is lost. Therefore, only 20% or so of the oral supplements you are taking gets absorbed into your bloodstream.  When receiving an IV drip from Westside Wellness, the vitamin, minerals and nutrients bypass your digestive system and is administered directly into your bloodstream. Your body is able to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients and fluids since nothing is lost as a result of the digestive process. In addition, vitamins and nutrients become immediately available to your cells for use for fast results.

  • If I eat a healthy diet, is IV Vitamin therapy necessary?
If I eat a healthy diet, is IV Vitamin therapy necessary?

Eating healthy a great head start, but it’s hard to get all of your nutrients just from the foods you eat. IV vitamin therapy ensures your body has the nutrients it needs to operate at its best and maintain your health.

  • What can I do while the IV therapy is being administered?
What can I do while the IV therapy is being administered?

While you’re hooked up to the IV, you can watch TV, call a friend, read a book, check social media, meditate, take a nap or just chill.

  • What happens when the IV infusion is done?
What happens when the IV infusion is done?

The nurse will remove the catheter from your arm (don’t worry; it’s painless) and place a small dressing of gauze and coban self-adhesive wrap on the area. The wrap will apply slight pressure to the injection site to prevent any bleeding or bruising. We recommend you keep the dressing on for about 45-60 minutes.

  • Can I get IV therapy as a preventative measure?
Can I get IV therapy as a preventative measure?

Absolutely. A lot of our clients use IV therapy treatments as part of their regular wellness routine, or to prepare for a big event. Some of our packages are also ideal for boosting your immune system during cold and flu season. Athletes and other people who train heavily use our formulas to improve performance and recovery. Others just like looking and feeling hydrated and well-rested prior to an important event. Please be advised that hydration therapy may reduce your chances of getting a hangover, but we don’t guarantee anything.

Benefits of IV Drip Hydration Therapy

Look, feel and perform better with an at home IV Drip!

Are you sick or hung over? Do you want support in losing weight or recovering from a tough workout? Or are you simply looking to feel, look or perform better? Then Westside Wellness’ mobile at home IV vitamin treatment is for you!

Intravenous (IV) hydration drip therapy is the infusion of electrolytes, vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream. Nutrients and vitamins are fully absorbed into the body and made available to the cells, tissues, and organs when provided by IV infusion. In contrast when vitamins are taken orally, the body only absorbs a fraction of the dose you take.

IV drip hydration therapy can rehydrate you while also providing essential vitamins that will benefit you in a variety of ways. IV vitamin therapy can help to boost your immune system, recover from a hangover, increase your energy, or help in burn fat. To learn more about IV Hydration Therapy Benefits.

I had a bad hangover after a big day of celebrations and some booze. I had heard good things about Westside Wellness from a friend and decided to make an appointment that morning and a very friendly nurse named Patricia came to my home a few hours later. She was prompt and professional and I felt better instantly. Totally recommend this wellness service! Treat yourself!

So impressed with Westside Wellness. Patricia was my nurse. She was super professional, clean, on time and very attentive so my needs and service. I received a super immune boost after a long weekend away. I was feeling tired and body a bit run down. Definitely felt a boost in energy and hydration post treatment. And I’ve been able to avoid getting sick through these crazy times. Would definitely use this company again! Super convenient, they even come to you. A huge thumbs up to Westside Wellness,

I absolutely love these IVs! They have helped me when I am burnt out from work to having covid. I am able to recover so much faster, sleep better, and have more energy. The process was so easy and they come to your home. Patricia who is the head nurse and one of the owners is so professional, kind, understanding, and empathetic. I love that it is also a smaller company so they take the time to really understand you and your needs. I didn't feel like I was just a number or they were in it for the money. They have multiple options for IVs depending on your budget which is also super helpful.Thank you Westside Wellness, I can't wait for my next IV!

Patricia Muthra, RN and Wellness Director

Patricia Muthra

My motivation for founding Westside Wellness originates from my experience treating cancer patients for over a decade and seeing the absence of holistic care integrated into the treatment plans. Holistic care has always been a passion for myself and I believe years of experience at Lenox Hill Hospital, Cedar Sinai and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has prepared me to deliver this type of care model with the utmost reverence to my community.

I am on a mission to heal our community one IV vitamin infusion therapy at a time, using mobile IV drip in the privacy of your own home. I’d love to chat with you, so please call me at (800) 506-0660 if you have any questions or want to learn more about what Westside Wellness has to offer.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and I wish you optimal health from the inside out.
