FAQ About Our Virtual Visits
What to Expect From a Virtual Visit With our Board Certified Doctor

On your first visit you will fill out paperwork and we will discuss your needs. Once you are hooked up, the infusion will take about 30-45 minutes.

There is no downtime with IV therapy. Once the treatment is complete, you can immediately resume your normal activities.

You can schedule an in-home IV therapy by scheduling on our website. We will call to confirm the Paramedic arrival time and therapy needed. Remember, you can always visit a location in the Dallas Fort Worth area.

Paramedics start far more IV's than nurses, and physicians rarely start peripheral IV's common to the arms and hands. Also, paramedics frequently are in situations we refer to as "zero-miss-must-haves", whereby immediate access is required for lifesaving interventions on-scene and there isn't anyone else to perform the skill. Often these IV's are performed in austere conditions with poor lighting, uncooperative patients, awkward access, and with any number of distractions occurring in the immediate proximity of the patient treatment field. For these reasons a tenured & skilled paramedic will have the highest first attempt success rate for peripheral IV access of all the providers who start IV's.

After getting a Myers cocktail IV, you might feel more energized and healthy right away. It could also help with feeling less tired, weak muscles, and a better immune system. Some people feel more relaxed and less stressed after getting the drink. It's different for everyone and the effects might not last long, so you might need more than one treatment. It's important to keep in mind that the benefits of a Myers cocktail IV may be temporary, and additional treatments may be needed to sustain the desired results. Talk to a doctor before getting a Myers cocktail.

No, a cannulated needle is used to start an IV by piercing the derma layers (skin), adipose tissue, and penetrating into the middle of the intended blood vessel. Once the needle has penetrated the vessel it is retracted through a blunt plastic tube called the IV catheter. The catheter is then advanced into the vessel up to the hub and secured in place, creating a patent flexible plastic port through which fluids can be pumped directly into the vascular system.

IV Bag: A saline IV bag contains a sterile solution of water and salt (sodium chloride). The concentration of salt in the solution is similar to the concentration of electrolytes in the human body. Drip Chamber: The drip chamber is a clear, tube-like container that is attached below the IV bag and is used to regulate the flow of IV fluids. It also helps to prevent air bubbles from entering the IV line. Injection Port: located between the tubing and the IV catheter, the injection port is used to administer medications or fluids into the patient's bloodstream through the IV line. It allows the healthcare provider to easily and safely inject medications into the IV line without having disrupt the flow of fluids through the IV tubing. Slider Clamp: IV administration sets typically have one or more clamps that slide over the tubing effectively clamping off flow of the fluid; these are either "on" or "off" and are not titratable flow adjusting Roller Clamp: The person getting the IV can control the rate of the drip with the roller clamp. If you want to decrease the flow rate, you roll the clamp in one direction (more resistance) to squeeze the IV tubing and make it more narrow. If you want to increase the flow rate, you can roll the clamp in the opposite direction (less resistance) to loosen the pinch on the tubing and make it less narrow. Luer Lock: This fitting is used on IV lines to create a secure, leak-proof connection. They have a twist-lock mechanism that helps hold the connection together tightly. The male and female parts of the fitting are designed to slip together, forming a seal. These fittings are easy to take apart when needed. Cannula: A cannula is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a vein to deliver fluids or medications directly into the bloodstream. Tourniquet: A tourniquet is a band used to constrict blood vessels in a limb to make veins more visible for an IV catheter insertion. It's placed above the elbow and removed once the IV catheter is in place. Spike: A spike is a pointed tool used to open an IV bag. It connects to tubing that carries the fluids into the patient's bloodstream. It's important for regulating the flow of fluids and is usually used with other equipment like a drip chamber and injection port.

Many IV stands are on wheels, and you can simply roll them into the bathroom with you.

This commercial securing tape is called a "Tagederm" and serves as a window to the injection site while holding the IV catheter in place and at an angle commensurate with the vein being infused. This window allows for visual checks of the site to confirm flow free of leaks and proper seating of the IV catheter at the injection site.

No. We do not participate in health insurance programs. The main reason is our main goal to make IV Hydration Therapy available to everyone. With this goal, we can lower the cost and not have to worry about differing insurance reimbursement rates. Health insurance does not always lower the cost or medical care.

No. IV therapy can actually help very healthy people as well. If you are focused on physical performance, IV therapy can enable your body to recover from rigorous workouts. Mental performance can also be addressed by keeping your body at peak hydration and balance.

Bypassing the digestive system has several benefits. Increased absorption, improved efficiency, and convenience. The first-pass effect of our GI tract is avoided and maximum absorption of vitamins and minerals can be delivered directly to our tissues and organs.

Yes. Simply use your pre paid debit card or you can apply for reimbursement with a receipt through your HSA.

Intravenous or IV lines may be started in the emergency room to provide hydration to the body. IV fluids can help to replenish fluids and electrolytes that may have been lost due to illness, injury, or other factors. This line is also used to send medications or other treatments directly into the bloodstream. This can be especially helpful in emergency situations when quick treatment is needed. Time is critical and sending proper dosages of medicine directly into our bodies is critical to the success of Emergency Medicine.

Yes. But first, remember to always discuss every detail with the paramedic and your dedicated medical provider. We often treat patients who have had difficult pregnancies or autoimmune disorders. Liberty IV is equipped to follow proper medical protocol with pregnant patients.

Yes. But first, remember to always discuss every detail with the paramedic and your dedicated medical provider. It is important that proper medical protocol is followed. Certain additives or medications in your IV may require you to dispose of milk you would normally feed to your child. You can resume normal feeding when those medicines have been flushed out of your system. Our paramedic will walk you through this process in your IV therapy.

Yes, there is actual evidence documenting that intravenous infusions of NAD+ may be useful in the treatment of addiction. NAD+ is a coenzyme that plays a critical role in several important metabolic processes in the body, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and the regulation of gene expression. NAD+ can help to reduce cravings and alleviate withdrawal symptoms. It also plays a role in supporting the liver's ability to metabolize alcohol, as well as helping to reduce the severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Certain vitamins like Magnesium, Zinc, and Vitamin C have been proven to improve illness and equip our bodies to fight off colds and flu. Our paramedics are also trained in the dosage and protocol of administering IV fluids containing vitamins, minerals, peptides, and micro-nutrients. Delivering these intravenously can bypass the Digestive system and have them directly fed into our tissues, liver, and other organs.

Paramedics start far more IV's than nurses, and physicians rarely start peripheral IV's common to the arms and hands. Also, paramedics frequently are in situations we refer to as "zero-miss-must-haves", whereby immediate access is required for lifesaving interventions on-scene and there isn't anyone else to perform the skill. Often these IV's are performed in austere conditions with poor lighting, uncooperative patients, awkward access, and with any number of distractions occuring in the immediate proximity of the patient treatment field. For these reasons a tenured & skilled paramedic will have the highest first attempt success rate for peripheral IV access of all the providers who start IV's.

Vitamin IV therapy, also known as intravenous nutrient therapy, is not a new medical treatment. The use of intravenous nutrient therapy dates back several decades, with the first documented use of intravenous vitamins in the 1920s. The practice has continued to evolve over the years and has gained popularity in recent years as a way to deliver nutrients directly to the body in order to improve health and wellness.

There is not a perfect answer for this question. Paramedics are especially trained to identify and access the best place for an IV. They may choose on top of the hand and use a smaller needle for certain slower therapies. In larger patients or those with difficult veins, veins in the arm or elbow may be a better option. One wants to avoid veins that are located near a joint or that have been used previously for an IV line.

The body has different ways to make sure we have enough fluids and keep them balanced. We can drink fluids like water to stay hydrated. The kidneys help us stay hydrated by getting rid of extra fluids in the form of urine. Our body has signals that tell us when we need to drink more fluids, like feeling thirsty. We can also control how much water we absorb from food and drinks and our bodies release hormones to help balance fluids. We also sweat to get rid of extra fluids and keep our body cool. All of these ways work together to help us stay hydrated and keep our fluids balanced.

None. In most cases, you can return to normal activities without delay following your IV infusion treatment. The medical professional delivering the IV will always oversee your condition and advise of activities you should immediately be able to perform. Always consult your medical professional and advise them of your expected routine for the remainder of that day’s activities.

Whether IV infusion therapy is covered by insurance can vary depending on the specific insurance plan and the medical condition being treated. Some insurance plans may cover IV infusion therapy for certain medical conditions, while others may not. It is important to check with your insurance provider to determine the specific coverage for IV infusion therapy. Our goal is to make IV therapy available to everyone so we strive to provide this at an affordable rate. Our rates are significantly lower than those charged by an Emergency room of traditional medical practice. Even when medical insurers do not qualify IV infusions for reimbursement, consider programs like HSA's or MSA's designed to pay for uninsured ancillary medical expenses using pre-tax income for additional savings.

Common vitamin used include Vitamin C, B-complex, Cobalamin (B12), Pyridoxine (B6), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Thiamine (B1), Magnesium, Zinc, Calcium, Biotin, Glutathione.

IV fluids and electrolytes can help with some hangover symptoms like feeling dehydrated, tired, and dizzy. But they won't fix a hangover completely. Hangovers are caused by drinking too much alcohol, which can make you dehydrated and mess with the balance of chemicals in your body. To address the nausea, headache, and vomiting certain medications can be added by a medical professional like Toradol, Pepcid, and Zofran.

IV fluids and electrolytes can help your body get hydrated and restore some of the chemicals that are lost after drinking alcohol. But an IV won't completely sober you up.

IV therapy is a treatment that is given by a paramedic, doctor or nurse. It is not always safe for people with certain health conditions or who take certain medications. People with allergies or sensitivities to the ingredients in the IV solution, certain medical conditions, or who take certain medications may not be able to get IV therapy. It is important to talk to a doctor or nurse before getting IV therapy to make sure it is safe for you. They can help you understand the risks and benefits and recommend the best treatment options for you.

There are some signs that you might need IV fluids. If you don't have enough fluids in your body, you might feel thirsty, have a dry mouth, or have dark yellow urine. You might also feel tired or dizzy. If you can't drink fluids because you are sick, throwing up, or have diarrhea, you might need IV fluids to help hydrate your body. If your blood pressure is low, you might feel dizzy or faint. IV fluids can help increase blood volume and raise blood pressure. If you are very sick or have an infection that causes vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, you might become dehydrated and need IV fluids. If you can't drink fluids because of surgery or an injury, you might need IV fluids to prevent dehydration. If you have any of these signs or are worried about being hydrated, you should talk to a doctor or nurse. They can help you understand your specific needs and recommend the best treatment options.

You should feel great after IV therapy. Please tell the medical professional giving you the therapy if you feel worse or strange. Bruising can be common at the injection site but Liberty IV is especially skilled to apply pressure and cold spray to minimize any bruising or discomfort.

One of the main benefits of IV hydration therapy is that it can help to flush toxins out of the body. When the body is properly hydrated, the kidneys and liver are able to function more efficiently, which means that they are able to filter out and eliminate toxins more effectively. Some special fluids called glutathione can be added to the IV to help grab onto and remove the toxins from your body faster.

It is generally recommended to avoid taking medications before receiving IV therapy such as antihistamines and decongestants, can help relieve allergy symptoms or headaches, but they can also cause blood vessels to become narrow. This can make it harder for the IV fluids to flow through the body and may affect the effectiveness of the treatment. If possible, it is best to avoid taking these medications before your IV therapy appointment.

Before you get IV nutritional therapy, it's important to do a few things to prepare. First, make sure you drink plenty of fluids so you are hydrated. Even though the IV will give you fluids, it's still important to drink water. Second, eat a meal or snack that includes protein. This will help your body use the nutrients in the IV. Third, try to relax and take deep breaths. This can help you feel more calm during the treatment. Fourth, bring something to do while you wait, like a book or music. And finally, wear comfortable clothes that are easy to roll up your sleeves. This will make it easier for the nurse to put in the IV.

Yes. The half-life of NAD is very short. It is effective in the body for a short period. The effects are easily recognized the following day and dedicating an IV session is well worth the results.

NAD+ is important for our immune system. When we are sick, having more NAD+ in our bodies helps our immune system work better. It makes a type of immune cell called a macrophage better at fighting the infection. NAD+ also helps reduce inflammation during infection. Studies have shown that having more NAD+ in our cells lowers the amount of inflammation-causing chemicals in our bodies.

Taking too much NAD+ can cause side effects like feeling sick to your stomach, having trouble thinking clearly, diarrhea, stomach pain, a type of joint pain called gout, and itching. Studies have shown that it is safe to take doses of NAD+ that are between 1,000 and 2,000 mg. It is important to follow the dosage recommendations of a healthcare professional or the product labeling when taking any supplement.

Inside our bodies, there are tiny particles called ROS and RNS that can damage our DNA. Sometimes other things like radiation or chemicals can also cause DNA damage. When our DNA gets damaged, it can lead to problems like cancer or make our cells age faster. To try to prevent DNA damage, our bodies have a process called DDR that helps fix any damaged DNA. The DDR process needs a lot of NAD+ to work. If we don't have enough NAD+, the DDR process doesn't work as well and there is more DNA damage.

When we drink a lot of alcohol, it can lower the amount of NAD+ in our blood. This can cause damage to the liver because some enzymes that need NAD+ to work can't do their job of removing acetyl groups from proteins like histones. When this happens, it can lead to liver injury.

NAD+ can help protect against a bunch of health problems like metabolic syndrome, heart failure, IR injury (when the blood flow to a body part is stopped and then started again), arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat), and high blood pressure. When we don't have enough NAD+ because we're getting older or under a lot of stress, it can make it harder for our bodies to stay healthy and we might be more likely to get sick.

IV NAD therapy is sometimes used to help manage addiction. It may be helpful for people trying to stop using drugs like opioids, alcohol, or prescription drugs, and it may also reduce withdrawal symptoms. Scientists don't fully understand how NAD+ helps with addiction, but they think it might help the body get rid of drugs and reduce cravings.

NAD is a chemical that helps with energy and other important stuff in the body. It's not found in food, but the body can make it from a nutrient called niacin. Foods that have a lot of niacin and can help the body make NAD include meat, nuts and seeds, legumes, whole grains, and some fruits and vegetables. Examples of these foods are beef, pork, chicken, fish, almonds, peanuts, beans, lentils, oats, brown rice, avocados, asparagus, and leafy greens. You can usually get enough NAD by eating a balanced diet that includes these foods. You don't usually need to take NAD supplements.

NAD+ can help with brain fog by making the cells in your brain work better. It helps the chemicals in your brain work better and helps balance the chemistry in your brain. This can help with thinking and learning.

The "Myers' cocktail" is a special combination of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C. It has been shown to help with things like asthma attacks, migraines, tiredness (including a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome), muscle pain, colds, sinus problems, and allergies.

The Myers' cocktail is a nutrient infusion therapy developed by Dr. John Myers, a physician who practiced in Baltimore, Maryland, in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Myers Cocktail IV drip is a treatment that is often recommended for people who have had a lot to drink and are feeling sick. The IV bag has a sterile saline solution and vitamins and minerals like vitamin B Complex, vitamin B12, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, and glutathione. These can help your body get hydrated and have more energy.

NO. But you can use Flex Spending of your Health Saving Account towards our medical treatments.

IV Myers cocktail treatments can be helpful for many people, but it's important to talk to a doctor first to make sure it's right for you. It's often recommended for adults with chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, asthma, allergies, and other health conditions. Athletes may also benefit from the treatment to quickly rehydrate and balance their bodies after a hard event like a marathon. A study by Yale University School of Medicine found that Myers cocktail IV treatments were safe and could help people with fibromyalgia syndrome, but they didn't work better than a fake treatment. IV treatments aren't a replacement for prescribed medications, but they can be a good option to improve symptoms and boost your immune system.

A Myers' cocktail IV treatment is administered intravenously and requires a licensed healthcare professional to deliver the treatment. Depending on the infusion rate and total bag volume, the treatment usually takes between 30-90 minutes and usually involves minimal pain.

The Myers' Cocktail includes these vitamins and minerals: B Vitamins: B Vitamins offer a wealth of health benefits. They help produce energy, are critical for growth and development, keep the eyes, nervous system, and skin healthy, help with the digestive system, break down fats, and much more.
