IV Therapy in Oklahoma City

IV Therapy in Oklahoma City: Our Full Infusion Menu

Venturis Clinic offers IV vitamin and nutrient therapy in Oklahoma City, from basic hydration and the Myers cocktail to NAD+, glutathione, high-dose vitamin C and other specialty infusions. Below is our full IV menu with the main ingredients in each drip, what each type is designed for, how a visit works, what it costs and who should not have IV therapy. Every infusion starts with a Good Faith Examination by our licensed medical staff.

Types of IV therapy

“IV therapy” covers several very different kinds of infusions. Knowing the type helps you ask the right questions.

• Hydration IVs: saline-based fluids with electrolytes and B vitamins, used for dehydration and rehydration after illness, travel, heat or exercise.
• Vitamin and mineral IVs: blends such as the Myers cocktail that combine magnesium, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin C.
• Immune-support IVs: higher-dose vitamin C with zinc and, in some formulas, glutathione.
• Energy, metabolic and recovery IVs: B12, taurine, amino acids and minerals, used around training, recovery or busy periods.
• Antioxidant IVs: glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid.
• NAD+ IVs: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy, given slowly over a longer visit.
• Specialty infusions: high-dose vitamin C, methylene blue, ATP, curcumin and Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine), each with its own screening.
• Ozone-based therapies: IV ozone and EBOO, which are procedures rather than nutrient drips.

Our IV menu

Add-on injections: vitamin D, vitamin B12, Lipo Plus and MIC (lipotropic injections).

Ozone-based options: IV ozone therapy and EBOO therapy.

Formulas are ordered individually by a qualifying provider, and not every infusion is right for every person.

How an IV visit works

1. Good Faith Examination. Before your first infusion, a licensed member of our medical staff (MD, DO, NP or PA) reviews your history, medications, allergies and any labs, and decides which infusions are appropriate.
2. Check-in. Vitals are taken and any changes since your last visit are reviewed.
3. IV placement. A nurse places a small IV catheter, usually in the arm or hand.
4. Infusion. Most drips take 30 to 60 minutes. You can read, work or rest in the chair while staff monitor you.
5. Finish. The IV is removed and a bandage applied. Most people return to normal activities right away.

Who should not have IV therapy, or needs extra screening

• Kidney disease or heart failure: fluid and mineral loads may not be safe.
• G6PD deficiency: high-dose vitamin C and methylene blue can cause red blood cell breakdown; we test for G6PD first.
• Certain medications: methylene blue can interact dangerously with serotonergic antidepressants and some other drugs.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding: most elective infusions are not given.
• Known allergies to any ingredient, including thiamine or other B vitamins.
• Kidney stones or iron overload: may limit vitamin C dosing.

Possible side effects

• Mild discomfort, bruising or a small hematoma at the IV site
• A cool sensation in the arm, flushing, warmth or a vitamin taste
• Brighter-colored urine from B vitamins
• Lightheadedness or fainting (vasovagal reaction)
• Less commonly: vein irritation (phlebitis), infiltration, infection or an allergic reaction
• NAD+ can cause chest tightness, nausea or cramping if given too fast, which is why it is infused slowly

Does IV vitamin therapy work? What the research shows

IV nutrients are well established for treating documented deficiencies, dehydration and certain medical situations. For people who are not deficient, the evidence is limited. The most-cited controlled trial of the Myers cocktail found that people improved, but so did the placebo group, and the difference was not statistically significant. We would rather you know that up front. IV nutrient therapy is not FDA-approved for the treatment, cure, mitigation or prevention of any disease, and Venturis Clinic does not treat cancer.

IV therapy cost in Oklahoma City

Cost depends on the formula. Hydration and standard vitamin drips are the least expensive; NAD+, glutathione, high-dose vitamin C and other specialty infusions cost more because of ingredient cost and longer chair time. Add-on injections are priced separately, and series packages lower the per-visit cost. IV therapy is direct-pay and not covered by insurance. We give you the exact price before you book; call (405) 848-7246 for current pricing.

IV therapy FAQ

How long does an IV take?

Most drips take 30 to 60 minutes. NAD+ and some specialty infusions take longer because they are given slowly.

What is in a Myers cocktail?

Magnesium, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin C, diluted in sterile fluid.

How often can I get IV therapy?

It depends on the formula and your exam. Some people come weekly for a short series; others come occasionally. We do not recommend frequent infusions without a reason.

Is IV therapy better than taking vitamins by mouth?

IV delivery bypasses digestion, so blood levels rise higher and faster, which matters for some nutrients and some people. For most healthy people, a good diet and oral supplements cover daily needs.

Do I need bloodwork first?

Every patient has a Good Faith Examination. Basic hydration may not require labs; high-dose vitamin C and methylene blue require G6PD testing, and other labs may be ordered based on your history.

Does it hurt?

You will feel a brief pinch when the IV is placed. Most people feel little after that.

Does insurance cover IV therapy?

No. IV therapy is direct-pay at Venturis Clinic.

I am having chemotherapy. Can I have IV vitamin C?

Only with your oncologist’s knowledge. Some antioxidants may interact with cancer treatment. Venturis Clinic is not a cancer treatment center.

Intravenous nutrient therapy is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment, cure, mitigation or prevention of any disease. IV therapy is offered only after a Good Faith Examination by licensed medical staff, is not appropriate for everyone and is not a substitute for established medical care. Individual results vary.
