IV & IM Therapy Guide
Your Complete Resource for Understanding Intravenous and Intramuscular Treatments
What is IV Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) therapy is a method of delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and medications directly into your bloodstream through a small catheter placed in a vein. This delivery method bypasses the digestive system entirely, allowing for 100% absorption of nutrients compared to the 20-30% typically absorbed through oral supplements.
At Drip Well, we bring professional IV therapy directly to your home, office, or hotel throughout New Hampshire. Our mobile IV therapy service is administered by registered nurses using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients.
Benefits of IV Therapy
- Maximum Absorption: 100% bioavailability means your body gets every nutrient
- Rapid Results: Feel the effects within 30-60 minutes
- Customized Treatments: Tailored vitamin cocktails for your specific needs
- Effective Hydration: More efficient than drinking water alone
- Professional Administration: Safe treatment by licensed healthcare providers
Learn more about the pros and cons of IV therapy to see if it’s right for you.
What is IM Therapy?
Intramuscular (IM) therapy involves injecting vitamins or medications directly into muscle tissue, typically in the arm or hip. The muscle’s rich blood supply allows for efficient absorption, though not quite as rapid as IV delivery.
IM injections are ideal for single-nutrient delivery like B12 shots, Vitamin D shots, or glutathione injections. They’re quick (usually under 5 minutes), convenient, and often more affordable than full IV infusions.

You’ll feel a small pinch when the IV is inserted, similar to getting blood drawn. Once placed, most people feel nothing or only mild pressure during the infusion.
