I Vie Infusions
Frequently asked questions

Questions, answered.

Everything people ask before their first visit. If yours isn’t here, call or text and we’ll answer it.

What should I expect at my first IV appointment?

Scheduling is simple and convenient, with same-day appointments and extended hours available. When you arrive, you’ll complete a medical history form so our medical provider and experienced staff can review your health history, current concerns and wellness goals. Based on this assessment, we’ll recommend the infusion best suited to you.

Is the IV painful?

No one likes needles, and everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Some people find it nearly painless and others find it a bit uncomfortable. For those patients we have ways of making it more comfortable. We use a smaller needle than what is used in children’s hospitals, blood labs and blood donation.

Who should or shouldn’t get IV therapy?

If you retain fluids, have kidney problems or have certain heart conditions, nutrient IV therapy may not be right for you. Eligibility is determined after appropriate screening and provider review, and some patients need medical clearance first. If you’re unsure, check with your physician.

Can I get an IV if I take other medications?

Tell us about every medication and supplement you take. Our medical team reviews them before treatment, and you are monitored throughout your infusion. If you feel any discomfort, we slow or stop the infusion.

Is IV therapy expensive?

Pricing depends on the ingredients and the infusion you choose, and we work to keep our prices lower than most infusion centers. Every price is posted on our menu. We also offer savings plans for multiple infusions and interest-free financing for eligible patients. We’ll review all options and pricing with you before treatment.

How long does a session take?

Most nutrient IVs take about 30 to 60 minutes to drip, depending on the infusion. Some specialty infusions, such as NAD+, take longer. The entire visit for most infusions is no more than 60 to 90 minutes. An injection visit lasts about 10 to 15 minutes.

How soon will I feel the effect?

It depends on your body, your hydration and nutrient levels, your overall health and the infusion you receive. Some people notice a difference during or shortly after their appointment, while others notice gradual changes over the following days or after a series. Patients vary, and many tell us they feel the effect for two to four weeks.

What should I do after my treatment?

No major changes to your routine are usually needed. Eat normally before and after, and arrive well hydrated. If you’re feeling sick or run down, give us a call; a private room is available for your comfort. Anyone with severe or urgent symptoms should seek immediate medical care.

Are there side effects during the IV?

IV therapy is generally well tolerated. Some people notice a cool feeling in the arm or a mineral taste in the mouth, which is normal. Possible side effects include temporary discomfort, bruising, swelling or irritation at the IV site. Our team reviews your health history beforehand and monitors you throughout.

What are nutrient IVs made of?

Our IV therapies use sterile solutions and may include B vitamins, vitamin C, minerals, electrolytes, amino acids and antioxidants such as glutathione and alpha lipoic acid. We also offer specialized infusions, including NAD+ and PlaqueX. Ingredients are selected based on your health history, goals and medical appropriateness.

How often should I do IV therapy?

It depends on your needs, goals, the treatment and how you respond. Many patients choose IV vitamins or hydration every one to four weeks, while others come only as needed or follow a structured series. Our medical team will recommend a schedule after reviewing your history.

Can I eat or drink before or during the IV?

Yes. You can eat and drink normally before, during and after. We suggest drinking water beforehand, which makes it easier to place the IV. A snack during the infusion helps with the mineral taste. IV therapy works well on a lunch break or with a group of friends.

Do you take same-day appointments?

Often, yes. Call or text (559) 338-5503 and we’ll tell you the next opening. We’re open Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 7 PM, Friday 9 AM to 6 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 4 PM.

Do you offer mobile IV therapy?

We would if we could. California rules limit mobile IV service to pharmacy-based companies, so all treatments are given in our private suite at 1646 E Herndon Ave, Suite 106, in north Fresno, where our full clinical setup is on hand.

Who gives the infusions?

Registered nurses who are experts in infusion therapy. All therapies are administered under the direction of a licensed medical provider, according to individual orders and clinical protocols.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Interest-free financing is available for eligible patients. Ask us when you call.

Do you offer a military, first responder, nurse or teacher discount?

Yes. Military and veterans, firefighters and EMS, law enforcement and dispatchers, nurses and healthcare workers, and teachers and school staff get 10% off every IV, NAD+ infusion, iron infusion and vitamin injection, every visit, with ID at check-in. One discount per visit. See the heroes discount.
