Hangover IV Therapy
The fastest hangover cure available. IV therapy delivers saline, electrolytes, B vitamins, and optional anti-nausea and pain relief directly into your bloodstream — resolving a hangover in 30–60 minutes. A licensed Fortafid™ nurse comes to your home or hotel, same day.
What's in a hangover IV drip?
The Fortafid™ Hangover Recovery IV is designed to address every cause of a hangover simultaneously — not just rehydration.
| Ingredient | What It Does |
|---|---|
| 1L Normal Saline | Rapid rehydration — replaces fluid lost to alcohol's diuretic effect |
| Electrolytes | Sodium, potassium, magnesium — restores electrolyte balance |
| B-Complex Vitamins | Replenishes B vitamins depleted by alcohol metabolism |
| Vitamin B12 | Energy restoration, neurological support |
| Zofran (Ondansetron) | Anti-nausea medication — fast-acting nausea and vomiting relief (add-on) |
| Toradol (Ketorolac) | Non-narcotic anti-inflammatory pain relief for headache (add-on) |
| Glutathione | Liver detox support — neutralizes acetaldehyde, the toxic hangover byproduct (add-on) |
Why IV therapy beats every oral hangover remedy
Oral remedies — water, sports drinks, ibuprofen, greasy food — work slowly and incompletely. IV therapy addresses every hangover cause simultaneously, at therapeutic doses, within minutes.
| Hangover Cause | Oral Remedy | IV Therapy |
|---|---|---|
| Dehydration | Slow — 45–120 min to absorb | Immediate — fluids reach cells in minutes |
| Electrolyte loss | Sports drinks help but take time | Therapeutic doses delivered directly |
| Nausea | Hard to keep pills down | IV anti-nausea medication works even when vomiting |
| Headache | Ibuprofen takes 30–60 min | IV Toradol works within minutes |
| B vitamin depletion | Poor absorption when nauseous | 100% bioavailability regardless of nausea |
| Liver stress | N-acetylcysteine helps but slowly | IV glutathione supports liver detox immediately |
Frequently asked questions about hangover IV therapy
Does IV therapy actually cure a hangover?
Yes — IV therapy is the most effective hangover treatment available. It addresses every cause of a hangover simultaneously: dehydration (saline), electrolyte imbalance (electrolytes), nausea (Zofran), headache (Toradol), and vitamin depletion (B vitamins). Most clients feel significantly better within 30–60 minutes.
What is in a hangover IV drip?
A Fortafid™ Hangover Recovery IV contains 1 liter of saline, electrolytes, B-complex vitamins, vitamin B12, and optional add-ons including anti-nausea medication (Zofran/ondansetron), non-narcotic pain relief (Toradol/ketorolac), and glutathione for liver support.
How quickly does hangover IV therapy work?
Most clients notice significant improvement within 20–30 minutes of starting their infusion. Full relief typically occurs within 45–60 minutes. The combination of rapid rehydration, electrolyte replacement, and anti-nausea medication works faster than any oral remedy.
How long does a hangover IV drip take?
The infusion itself takes 30–45 minutes. Your nurse arrives within 60–90 minutes of booking, sets up, monitors you throughout, and removes the IV when complete. Total visit time is approximately 60–90 minutes.
How much does hangover IV therapy cost?
Fortafid™ Hangover Recovery IV starts at $149, including mobile delivery to your location. Add-ons like anti-nausea medication, pain relief, and glutathione are available at additional cost.
Can I get hangover IV therapy at my hotel?
Yes — hotel room delivery is one of our most popular use cases. Your nurse comes directly to your hotel room with all equipment. No need to leave your room or find a local clinic.
Is hangover IV therapy safe?
Yes. Hangover IV therapy uses the same saline and electrolyte solutions used in hospitals for dehydration. All Fortafid™ practitioners are licensed nurses working under physician oversight. The treatment is extremely safe for healthy adults.
Why is IV therapy better than drinking water for a hangover?
When you are hungover, your stomach is often too irritated to absorb fluids efficiently. IV delivery bypasses the digestive system entirely, delivering fluids directly to your bloodstream within minutes. It also delivers electrolytes, B vitamins, and medications that water cannot provide.
