What Is IV Therapy at Home?
IV (Intravenous) therapy is the administration of fluids, medications or nutrients directly into a vein — providing faster absorption than oral medicines. It is used when oral medications are not suitable. IV therapy is also used when rapid rehydration is needed. Sometimes a doctor prescribes medications that must be given intravenously.
Medola provides IV therapy at home in Nashik. This allows patients to receive treatment in their own home. As a result they can avoid hospital stays. They also reduce their exposure to hospital infections. This makes recovery easier, for patients and their families.
Who Needs IV Therapy at Home in Nashik?
IV therapy at home is an option for patients when their doctor says they need to have intravenous treatment. This includes people who're in the following situations:
Post-surgery patients requiring IV antibiotics or saline drips as part of recovery
Patients with severe dehydration who cannot tolerate oral fluids

Elderly patients needing IV medications who find hospital visits difficult
Patients with chronic conditions requiring regular infusions (e.g. iron infusion for iron deficiency anaemia)
Patients recovering from dengue fever with low platelet count requiring fluid monitoring
Patients with severe infections prescribed IV antibiotic courses
Patients requiring IV pain management or anti-nausea medication as prescribed
How to Prepare for IV Therapy at Home
Have your doctor's prescription with you. It is a good idea to share it with us on WhatsApp before the nurse comes to your home.
Prepare a clean, comfortable area — a bed or reclining chair where the patient can rest during the drip
Ensure the prescribed IV medication or fluid is ready if you have sourced it — or inform Medola to arrange it
Inform Medola of any known allergies, especially to medications, latex or adhesives
The drip can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the type — plan accordingly
Have a family member present during the IV therapy session
