What is IV Drug Therapy?
IV drug therapy is the administration of medication using a tube or a needle straight into the vein in order to deliver treatment rapidly.
What is an IV Drip used for?
There are two main types of IV Therapy: IV Drip and IV Push.
Both types involve the insertion of the treatment through a previously inserted plastic catheter. However, an IV drip (or medical drip) uses gravity to deliver fluids to the body, whereas an IV push involves the use of a syringe to ensure a faster delivery to the body. An IV push is generally used in urgent situations, such as a heart attack.
