What Is IV Drip Therapy?
IV (intravenous) therapy delivers fluids, vitamins or minerals directly into a vein through a drip. In medicine it is used to treat dehydration and proven nutrient deficiencies. Some clinics also provide drips as elective "wellness" treatments.
What the evidence shows. The Cleveland Clinic says that for relatively healthy people, IV vitamin therapy has limited evidence of general wellness benefit, that high-quality studies are lacking, and that it carries real risks. It is not a substitute for a healthy diet, sleep, exercise or prescribed medicine, and it should not be seen as a miracle cure.
We do not make claims that a drip detoxifies, boosts immunity, lightens skin or reverses ageing, because the evidence does not support them. We assess your health first and tell you honestly whether a drip makes sense for you at all.

Questions about drips as part of a skin plan
Who Assesses and Plans Your Treatment
Dr. Karishma Singh, Founder and Skin & Aesthetic Specialist (BHMS, FCHD), leads treatment planning and procedures. Dr. Monica C., Consultant Dermatologist (MD Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy; NMC-registered), assesses medical causes and prescribes medicines where they are needed.
IV therapy is a medical procedure. We tell you at the consultation which doctor assesses you, prescribes the drip and supervises it, and we advise tests or a GP review first if your tiredness or symptoms need explaining.
How Our IV Drip Process Works
Medical Consultation & Assessment
We take a medical history, review medicines and conditions, and advise tests where needed. We tell you whether a drip is appropriate or whether oral options or a GP review come first.
Personalised Plan
If a drip is advised, we explain the contents, the reason, the risks, the number of sessions and the written fee.
Drip Administration
A trained clinician places a cannula in a vein under sterile conditions and monitors you during the infusion.
Aftercare & Review
You get written aftercare. We review how you feel and advise on whether further drips are worthwhile.

What Results Can You Expect?
Rehydration after dehydration can help you feel better quickly. For general wellness, the Cleveland Clinic says benefits are uncertain. Results vary from person to person and cannot be promised.
IV therapy is not a substitute for medicines, a healthy diet, sleep, exercise or stress management.
IV Drip Therapy Cost in Pune
The cost depends on the contents, volume and duration of the drip, the number of sessions, and any tests or review visits.
We don't work from a fixed price list. After your consultation you receive the recommended plan and a written fee, so you can decide at your own pace.

Most people return to routine activities after the session.

Safety, Side Effects and Choosing Who Treats You
The Cleveland Clinic lists risks of IV vitamin therapy: infection or bruising at the needle site, vitamin toxicity from excessive doses, air or clot-related blockage of blood vessels, and interactions with medicines. Allergic reactions and vein irritation can also occur. It advises talking to your doctor first and being cautious if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease or are pregnant.
Ask who supervises the drips and how they are prepared, as the Cleveland Clinic suggests. Tell us about every condition, medicine and supplement you take.
