Video transcript
Infusion therapy is more than an IV drip; it involves a comprehensive approach to the whole body.
Like any therapy, it starts with a consultation. I assess each patient’s symptoms and lifestyle and always review their test results, because no two patients are alike.
Based on these results, I create an individual protocol: what needs replenishing, at what dose and for how long.
IV therapy works because active substances travel through the blood directly into cells. This is fast, effective and controlled.
One visit is only the beginning. Results require a full course and a properly planned strategy.
IV therapy
An infusion begins with a medical need
Intravenous therapy delivers fluid and prescribed substances directly into the bloodstream. This route has an established place in medicine, but it is not a universal wellness solution and is not necessary for everyone.
At RDG Clinic, an infusion is considered after the common blood-test panel, a doctor consultation, and review of health history and current medication. The doctor determines the composition and dose or suggests a more appropriate alternative.
Preparing for your visit
Tests before IV therapy
All IV therapies at RDG Clinic require the same blood-test panel. Please bring results obtained within the last 1–3 months. If your health has changed since the tests were performed, the doctor may ask for selected tests to be repeated.

Individual assessment
When a doctor may consider an infusion

What to expect after therapy
How you feel and any benefit depend on your baseline health, the medical indication, and the prescribed composition. An infusion does not guarantee an immediate energy boost or the same result for every patient.
A medical procedure
After the infusion
You will be observed briefly after the procedure. Stay adequately hydrated and follow your doctor’s individual instructions. Seek prompt medical help for marked pain, swelling, breathing difficulty, or another unusual reaction.
Transparent pricing
Consultation and cost
The doctor consultation before IV therapy is charged separately. Each infusion option has a listed price, while the doctor confirms final suitability and composition.
The consultation fee is not included in the infusion price. If the doctor changes the standard composition or dose, the exact cost is agreed before treatment.

Safety and medical supervision
Intravenous administration is a medical procedure. Allergies, kidney and heart health, pregnancy, current medication, and other factors that may affect suitability or dose must be assessed beforehand.
- Allergic or hypersensitivity reaction
- Bruising, pain, or inflammation of the vein at the insertion site
- Infection or fluid leaking into surrounding tissue
- Unwanted interaction, excessive dose, or electrolyte disturbance
Specialists
The doctor assesses your health and prescribes the therapy; the nurse performs the infusion and monitors your wellbeing throughout the procedure.
Frequently asked questions
Is a doctor consultation required before an infusion?
Yes. At RDG Clinic, intravenous therapy follows a doctor consultation and prescription. The consultation costs EUR 50 and is charged separately from the infusion.
Are blood tests always required?
Yes. Every IV therapy requires the common blood-test panel shown on this page, with results obtained within the last 1–3 months. The doctor may request additional or repeat tests where clinically necessary.
Can an infusion replace a balanced diet or medical treatment?
No. An infusion does not replace adequate nutrition, sleep, diagnosis of an underlying condition, or prescribed treatment. It is used only when justified in the individual situation.
How is the infusion price determined?
The price depends on the doctor-prescribed composition and dose. The clinic confirms the exact cost before treatment; the pre-IV doctor consultation costs 50 EUR.
