Our guide to how IV drip therapy works explains absorption, safety and frequency.
Safety first
Why is medical screening required before any drip?
Screening is required because IV fluids and nutrients go straight into your bloodstream, so health conditions and medicines matter more than with tablets. The medical team checks this before choosing a formula.
- Allergies, including to any vitamin or previous IV
- Kidney, heart or liver conditions
- Current medicines and supplements
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- How you felt after any past IV treatment
Screening also continues during the drip. Staff check on you while the infusion runs, and the rate can be slowed or the drip stopped if you feel dizzy, flushed, short of breath or unusually uncomfortable. Tell the team straight away if anything feels different from what was explained.
If the doctor thinks a drip is not suitable for you today, it is safer to skip it, even if you planned it in advance.

Fitting an IV into your Seoul trip

FAQ
IV Therapy: your questions, answered
Reviewed by Dr. Ho-chan Kim, MD, PhD · Updated October 2026
Which IV drip is most popular with visitors?
It depends on the goal. Travellers often ask about hydration or jet lag drips after long flights, while patients focused on skin often ask about glutathione or vitamin C. The best choice is the one that matches your goal and passes medical screening.
Can I combine two types of drip on one day?
Sometimes, but it should be decided by the doctor. Combining infusions adds fluid volume and ingredients, so your health, the formulas and your schedule are all considered first. Many patients simply spread different drips across their stay.
How long does an IV session take?
It varies by formula and protocol, so the clinic confirms the time when you book. Allow extra time for screening before the drip and a short rest afterwards, especially on your first visit.
Are IV drips covered by travel insurance?
Usually not, because most wellness drips are elective. Check your own policy before travelling. If you need records for a claim, ask the clinic for documentation after your visit.
Can I have an IV the same day as a skin treatment?
Often yes, and some patients pair a skin drip with a skin procedure. Your doctor will confirm the order and timing so both treatments are safe and comfortable for you.
