When you cannot keep fluids down, or a stomach bug, heat, altitude or a hard week has left you depleted, IV hydration restores fluid and electrolytes in about an hour. At Seva Medical Clinic a physician checks why you are dehydrated first, so the infusion treats you and not just the symptom.
Physician assessed. Nurse administered. From $250.
3301 17 Ave SE, Calgary. Open Monday to Saturday. Request an appointment or call (403) 214-2622.
Most mild dehydration is fixed by drinking. An infusion is worth it when drinking is not working or not possible:
If you have signs of severe dehydration, such as confusion, fainting or very little urine for 12 hours, go to urgent care or call 811. Our urgent care can assess you the same day.
A 500 mL or 1 L bag of normal saline or lactated Ringer’s solution, with electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium added where your assessment shows you need them. Anti-nausea medication can be added when vomiting is the problem. No vitamins are included unless prescribed; see our Vitamin & Nutrient Infusions for that.
1. Short physician assessment: history, vitals and a check for causes that need treatment.
2. Infusion the same visit where possible, 45 to 60 minutes in a reclining chair.
3. A registered nurse monitors you throughout.
4. You leave with advice on fluids and when to come back if symptoms return.
A physician checks for the cause: infection, medication side effects, blood sugar or something that needs more than fluids. That visit is covered by Alberta Health Care.
You get the fluid and electrolytes your assessment calls for, with anti-nausea medication when needed, rather than a branded cocktail.
Seva runs a walk-in urgent care, so if you are acutely unwell you can be seen and treated the same day.
IV fluids are among the most common treatments in medicine. Side effects are uncommon and usually limited to a bruise or mild soreness at the IV site. Fluids are given more cautiously, or not at all, if you have heart failure, kidney disease or very high blood pressure, which is one reason the physician assessment comes first.
Tell the physician about any heart or kidney condition, diuretics (water pills) and any previous reaction to IV treatment.
The physician assessment is covered by Alberta Health Care. The infusion itself is a private service from $250, which includes the fluids and any added electrolytes or anti-nausea medication, nursing time and observation. You will be given the exact price before anything is booked.
Some extended health plans reimburse IV therapy with a prescription. Ask reception for a receipt and the prescription copy.
Around 45 to 60 minutes for a 1 L bag, plus a short assessment beforehand. Plan for about 90 minutes in total.
Fluids and anti-nausea medication relieve the dehydration part of a hangover. We do not market hangover drips, but if you are unwell the physician will assess and treat you like any other patient.
Yes, with physician assessment. IV fluids are a standard treatment for pregnancy nausea that is causing dehydration, and we will coordinate with your prenatal care.
Only when prescribed. If you are looking for B12, vitamin C or magnesium, see our Vitamin & Nutrient Infusions page.
The physician assessment is. The infusion is a private service from $250. If you are acutely dehydrated and medically unwell, treatment through urgent care may be covered; the physician will tell you which applies.
