IV Hydration Clinic Q & A
What are the dangers of dehydration?
When dehydrated, your body is deficient in fluids and the electrolytes and minerals required to function well. You may not realize it, but severe dehydration can be life-threatening. While extreme thirst is certainly a telltale sign, other symptoms of dehydration include:
- Erratic breathing
- Rapid heartbeat
- Dark urine
- Decreased urine output
- Dry mouth
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Muscle cramps
Severe dehydration can lead to kidney problems, brain swelling, seizures, and other serious problems.
What is IV hydration?
Dr. Nikravan and his team use IV hydration to deliver a sterile blend of fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and other essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line.
This therapy is a go-to treatment for dehydration because it bypasses your digestive system, helping your body absorb nutrients instantaneously and expediting rehydration.
Who needs IV hydration?
You can benefit from IV hydration if you:
- Need to recover quickly after strenuous exercise
- Suffer from a condition like diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, or a thyroid disorder that causes hydration imbalance
- Are recovering after an illness
- Suffer from frequent migraines
- Struggle with chronic fatigue
- Are deficient in nutrients
- Have jet lag

IV hydration is also great for boosting your immune system during cold and flu season or if you’ve been under stress or struggling to get adequate sleep. Dr. Nikravan can help determine if IV hydration is right for you.
