IV therapy in Dublin — vitamins, hydration and recovery
2025-09-01 · Dr. Evelyn Gaite
IV therapy (intravenous therapy) delivers vitamins, minerals and hydration directly into your bloodstream. It's becoming increasingly popular in Dublin as a way to support energy, recovery and overall wellbeing — but what exactly is it, and is it right for you?
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy involves administering a tailored blend of vitamins, minerals and fluids through a small needle into a vein. Because the nutrients go directly into your bloodstream, they bypass the digestive system — meaning much higher absorption than oral supplements.
When you take vitamins by mouth, your body may only absorb a fraction of the dose. With IV therapy, your cells get the full benefit.
What can IV therapy help with?
IV therapy is used to support:
- Energy and fatigue — B vitamins, magnesium and other nutrients that support cellular energy production
- Recovery — after intense exercise, illness or surgery
- Immune support — vitamin C, zinc and other immune-boosting nutrients
- Hydration — for dehydration from illness, travel or overindulgence
- Skin and anti-ageing — glutathione and vitamin C for skin health and antioxidant support
- General wellbeing — a boost when you're feeling run down
Is IV therapy safe?
When administered by a licensed physician, IV therapy is safe. At Evelyn's Medical Care, Dr. Evelyn Gaite will assess your medical history and needs before recommending a formulation. Side effects are rare and usually mild — such as a cool sensation at the injection site.
It's important to have IV therapy at a medical clinic, not at a beauty salon or non-medical setting. A doctor can screen for contraindications and respond to any issues immediately.
What to expect during a session
A typical IV therapy session takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the formulation. You'll be seated comfortably in our Dublin 1 clinic while the IV drip is administered. Many patients read, work on their phone or simply relax during the session.
How often should I have IV therapy?
This depends on your individual needs and goals. Some patients benefit from a single session for acute recovery, while others choose regular sessions as part of their wellness routine. Dr. Evelyn Gaite will recommend a personalised plan during your consultation.
