Your goals come first
Tell your clinician why you are interested in IV hydration therapy. Explain what you hope to change, how long the concern has been present and any care you have already received. Questions about hydration, energy levels or overall wellness need an individual discussion rather than a standard drip recommendation.
Bring a current list of medicines, supplements and allergies, along with relevant health history and any prior infusion experience. Share this information through the clinical process; do not submit medical records through a general website form.
What would be in your proposed IV infusion?
Ask for the name and purpose of each ingredient, the proposed amount and the reason it is being considered for you. Because intravenous therapy can deliver fluids, vitamins, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream with high absorption rather than going through the digestive system, it is often discussed when the body craves essential vitamins and nutrients, so it helps to ask exactly what is being proposed for you. Clinics may customize minerals and fluid mixtures for specific health needs rather than using one standard formula. Do not assume that an iv drip includes vitamin C, magnesium, electrolytes, glutathione, b complex or any particular blend. Common categories include hydration therapy, immune support, and energy recovery drips. Availability and the proposed preparation should be confirmed with the clinician.
Useful questions include: What are these IV fluids intended to address? Is this meant to provide essential vitamins or other essential nutrients? Is the proposed option something like a Myer's Cocktail or Immunity Drip, and which ingredients are included, such as magnesium, B-complex, vitamin C, or zinc? What evidence applies to my situation? What alternatives should I consider? Who prepares the infusion, and who administers and monitors it? How will you decide whether to proceed?
Evidence, suitability and expectations
Ask how the proposed infusion fits your existing care. A term such as immune support, detox or skin health on a wellness menu is not a promise of benefit for your body, even when people ask about dehydration, illness recovery, immune function, migraines, fatigue, or headaches. Discuss the evidence and limits behind any claim before deciding. Ask which symptoms a proposed infusion is intended to address and what evidence applies to your situation. This page does not promise improved immunity, mental clarity, weight loss, athletic recovery, cosmetic results, support for the immune system, relief for brain fog, better metabolism, or treatments that increase energy levels. A Myers' Cocktail is a popular option for overall well-being and is sometimes described as the gold standard, but suitability still depends on individual assessment.
Your clinician determines suitability individually. A membership, a preferred appointment time or interest in a particular ingredient does not replace assessment. Ask whether a proposed B12 or B-complex option is being considered to fight fatigue or support metabolism, and what evidence supports that choice for you. Ask what would lead the clinician to recommend another approach or defer the service.
Risks and preparation questions
Ask about the risks of the proposed infusion, possible reactions, monitoring and what should prompt contact with the clinician, including worsening dehydration-related symptoms, headaches, or fatigue. Some people seek rapid rehydration to feel refreshed after illness, travel, or overexertion, and may also ask about muscle recovery or inflammation, but appropriateness should still be assessed individually. Discuss your medicines and health history before making any changes. Request individualized instructions about preparation, the visit and follow-up; many IV hydration visits last about 30 to 60 minutes, but timing varies by plan and patients. Confirm that the infusion will be administered and monitored by a licensed healthcare provider or other licensed medical professional.
Ingredient quality matters. The FDA has warned compounders not to use dietary supplement grade glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, in injectable drugs following reports of adverse events. Ask your clinician about the source and suitability of any proposed preparation. Read the FDA notice on injectable glutathione ingredients.
IV therapy costs and membership credit
Ask for a separate quote for the proposed service before agreeing to treatment. Confirm what the quote covers and whether any follow-up is priced separately. This page does not list a fixed IV treatment price or a standard package. Packaging varies by provider and may include beauty treatments, so confirm exactly what is and is not included.
Ankh memberships are Ritual at $149, Radiance at $299 and Sovereign at $499 per month. After each confirmed successful membership payment, our team manually adds matching Shopify credit. Credit issuance is not automatic. Services, including injections when applicable, are priced separately; membership does not include a fixed IV procedure, bonus credit or a treatment discount.
Compare memberships and read the membership guide. Membership enrollment does not determine clinical suitability for an infusion.

Book an optional free consultation
If you have questions about our plans, wellness-focused vitamin drips and injections, or infusion service options, schedule an optional free 30-minute video consultation through Calendly on our booking page. Review the video consultation instructions in your booking confirmation. The consultation does not commit you to a membership or an IV service.
Bring your questions about goals, ingredients, evidence, suitability, risks, and the separately quoted cost. Ask whether a proposed service is intended for symptoms such as stress, headaches, or fatigue, whether it is being discussed for faster recovery after illness, travel, dehydration, or intense activity, whether some nutrient therapies are discussed as enhancing recovery or helping support immune function, and whether it is meant to support complexion, skin hydration, wrinkles, or skin clarity. Ask how the next clinical assessment would work before arranging treatment.
You can also ask which vitamins, B vitamins, biotin, or glutathione options may fit your goals, including overall vitality, healthy metabolism, fat metabolism, hair support, or a weight loss journey. You can ask whether glutathione is being considered for even skin tone and wrinkle-related goals. Antioxidant IV options are sometimes discussed for overall skin health and improved skin health.
You can also ask whether a proposed IV service fits goals such as added skin hydration, fewer wrinkles, skin health and complexion support, or boosting collagen production to support clearer-looking skin. If you are comparing options, you can discuss whether any service fits your consultation goals around recovery, hydration, or physical performance.
Book your free consultation or explore Ankh MedSpa services. Some clients ask about support for energy, metabolism, or whether certain options may enhance mental clarity and performance in a general wellness context, while others want to discuss immune-support goals tied to feeling stronger and healthier.
Pregnancy-related questions should be discussed directly with the clinician, including whether any immune-boosting IV therapy is appropriate to help protect health during pregnancy.
