What is IV Therapy?
IV therapy, short for Intravenous therapy, is a medical treatment method that involves the direct administration of fluids, nutrients, medications, or other therapeutic substances into the bloodstream through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. This method allows for the rapid delivery of these substances, bypassing the digestive system, and ensuring high bioavailability and quick absorption by the body.
