What Is IV Hydration and Electrolyte Therapy?

This page is specifically about intravenous fluids used for clinically appropriate hydration and electrolyte replacement. The fluid type, amount and infusion rate should be selected after assessing symptoms, fluid loss, medical history and relevant health conditions.

IV fluids may contain water, salts and other electrolytes in specific proportions. They are different from a glutathione-focused antioxidant infusion and from a customised vitamin or nutrient infusion.

Mild thirst or routine wellness needs do not automatically require an IV. A doctor should determine whether oral fluids are sufficient, whether an IV is appropriate and whether kidney, heart or electrolyte-related risks require additional caution.
