Home | News | What are Intravenous Therapies? What are their benefits?


At Cretan Medicare, we offer the medical care you need through (IV) Therapies, a method that spares you from having to take medications in pill form.

Intravenous Therapies (IV Therapies) is a medical method of administering fluids, medications, vitamins, or nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a vein, typically using an IV drip and catheter (needle).

📌 What does IV Therapies include?

  • Hydration (e.g., fluids with water and electrolytes).
  • Medication administration (e.g., antibiotics, painkillers).
  • Vitamin and mineral supplementation (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin B12).
  • Parenteral nutrition (for patients unable to eat orally).
  • Blood or blood product transfusions.

Benefits of IV Therapies:

  • Immediate absorption
    Substances enter the bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system for fast and effective results.
  • High bioavailability
    A greater amount of the active substance reaches its target compared to oral administration.
  • Rapid hydration and recovery
    Ideal for dehydration, exhaustion, headaches, or hangovers.
  • Effective treatment for chronic conditions
    Used in therapies for chronic fatigue syndrome, viral infections, or nutrient deficiencies.
  • Customized treatments (“IV cocktails”)
    Many medical or wellness centers offer special vitamin and nutrient blends for immune support, anti-aging, detox, and more.
