  • 1.) What is IV therapy good for?

    IV therapy is the most efficient and effective method of delivering fluids, vitamins, and medications throughout the body.

    When you are unable to keep fluids down, IV therapy bypasses the digestive system.

    IV therapy is ideal for:

    • General fatigue
    • Hangovers
    • Athletes recovering or preparing for an event/competition
    • Flu/viral illness symptoms
    • Rejuvenate and hydrate your skin
    • Migraines
    • Nausea/Vomiting
    • Headaches
    • B12 Deficiency
    • Food poisoning
    • E Coli

  • 2.) Why is your IV yellow? Is this a banana bag?

    The B Complex, which is added to each IV, alters the color of the Saline. Alcohol depletes both fluids and Vitamin B1, which we replace to help you recover faster.

  • 3.) It’s 3 am, can you help me? I see on your website you are 24 hours.

    • YES, subject to availability and location
    • Additional after-hours fees apply

  • 4.) Who should get IV therapy?

    Almost everyone! Depending on your medical history, almost everyone will benefit from Pure IV Colorado's IV hydration.

  • 5.) How often should I get IV therapy?

    This is entirely dependent on you and your requirements.

    • Some patients receive IV therapy drips on a weekly basis for wellness or detoxification.
    • Patients are frequently given a few IV drips over a few days to help them fight off a chronic or acute illness, food poisoning, E coli, flu, or other bacteria/virus.
    • Many patients find that getting an IV at the first sign of a migraine reduces its severity or prevents it entirely - some migraine sufferers even keep our number on speed dial!
    • Patients frequently contact us on an as-needed basis to help with hangover recovery, athletic recovery, or dehydration from working in the summer sun.

  • 6.) I'm a hard stick - what if you can't get an IV?

    All of our medical professionals are highly skilled and experienced in obtaining IVs while employing techniques and products to reduce pain. We can be patient in locating the best IV access because our IV services are not administered in an emergency situation. Although it is extremely rare, if we are unable to obtain IV access, we may still be able to assist with intramuscular medications.

  • 7.) What age do you need to be for IV therapy at home?

    We can treat patients aged 12 and up or weighing 100 pounds. The patient must be completely open to receiving the IV.

  • 8.) How long does home IV therapy take?

    Our IV appointments typically last 25-45 minutes, depending on the patient and what you receive.

  • 9.) Are you pure?

    YES! If you live in the Denver area, we can come to your home, office, or hotel without charging a travel fee. To better serve you, our medical professionals are in the Denver area.

  • 10.) Do you accept tips?

    Yes! If you feel inclined, tips for our nurses are accepted and greatly appreciated.

  • 11.) Do you take insurance?

    We do not accept insurance, but we do accept HSAs, FSAs, cash, checks, debit cards, and credit cards.

  • 12.) Who is your most commonly seen patient?

    We have a wide range of patients that we see. Our most common patients are those suffering from general illness, fatigue, and dehydration, as well as hangovers and food poisoning.

  • 13.) How are you able to do this?

    We follow a strict set of protocols that our medical director has approved; all treatments follow his standing orders, so you don't need a prescription from your doctor. All of our medical personnel are paramedics and nurses who are certified, trained, and skilled in the administration of intravenous fluids.

  • 14.) Who should not get an IV?

    • We cannot give IVs to patients who have CHF and Kidney Failure or CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) renal failure, or who are on dialysis.
    • In addition, we will not give an IV to any patient who has abnormal vital signs or is experiencing a medical emergency.

  • 15.) How often should I do a B12 shot?

    B12 MIC shots are typically done weekly.

  • 16.) What is Glutathione and what does it do?

    • Master Antioxidant produced in the body

    • Liver Health
    • Protects against free radicals and oxidative stress

  • 17.) I’m on hospice, can you treat me?

    Totally! We assist a large number of hospice patients.

  • 18.) MY HSA or FSA rejected my claim for my IV, what can you do?

    We can only provide you with a detailed receipt.

  • 19.) Do you access ports?

    No, we do not access ports.
