IV therapy at home in Barcelona, with a doctor by your side
Our home IV therapy service starts with a video consultation with a licensed doctor. If IV therapy is medically appropriate, the doctor visits you at home, at your hotel or at your office, performs a physical examination, confirms the treatment plan and stays with you throughout the infusion.
We don't sell IV drips. We provide medical care.
Intravenous (IV) therapy is a medical procedure that requires an assessment, an individualised treatment plan and medical supervision. That is why we always begin with a video consultation and only proceed if a doctor considers the treatment appropriate for you.
Medical video consultation
A review of your medical history, regular medications and allergies, wherever you are. The doctor assesses whether IV therapy may be appropriate.
Examination and treatment planning
At your location, the doctor completes a physical examination, confirms whether treatment is appropriate and determines a formulation tailored to your needs. No fixed drip menus.
Doctor present throughout
The doctor who visits you stays with you throughout the infusion, until it is complete.
If the doctor believes IV therapy is not the best option for you, they will explain why and suggest alternatives. In that case, you only pay for the video consultation.
Different options. We help you find the right one.
Our IV therapy service offers different options tailored to individual clinical needs. You don't need to know which one is right for you: our team can explain the available options on WhatsApp, and the doctor will recommend what is appropriate after assessing you.
Hydration and electrolytes
Fluids containing water and mineral salts, with the composition and volume adjusted by the doctor to your individual needs.
Vitamins and minerals
Formulations that may include vitamins and minerals, always based on the doctor's clinical assessment and recommendations.
Specialised formulations
Other options patients ask about, such as NAD+, are considered individually, taking indications and contraindications into account.

Your most common questions
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is the administration of a solution containing water and electrolytes and, depending on the individual treatment plan, vitamins or other ingredients directly into a vein. It is a medical procedure requiring an assessment, an individualised treatment plan and medical supervision throughout the infusion.
Why is the first consultation by video call?
It allows the doctor to assess you promptly wherever you are, avoiding an unnecessary visit if IV therapy is not appropriate. The final decision is always made at your location after a physical examination.
How much does it cost?
The medical video consultation costs €50. It is booked and paid for via WhatsApp. If the doctor considers IV therapy appropriate and you undergo treatment, the €50 is deducted from the final price. The treatment price depends on the individual treatment plan and will be confirmed after the video consultation, before scheduling the visit. A €30 travel surcharge applies outside Barcelona city.
Who will treat me?
A licensed Medical Care Barcelona doctor assesses you by video call. If IV therapy is appropriate, a doctor visits you, confirms the treatment plan and stays with you throughout the infusion.
Can I request a specific IV drip, such as NAD+ or vitamin C?
You can tell us which option interests you and why. On WhatsApp, we can explain which options are available. The doctor decides on the final formulation after assessing you, because each ingredient has its own indications, contraindications and dosing requirements. We do not offer a fixed menu of drips.
How long does it take?
The video consultation takes 15–20 minutes. At your location, the examination takes around 15 minutes and the infusion 45–120 minutes, depending on the individual treatment plan. The doctor stays with you throughout.
Does it hurt? Are there any side effects?
You may feel a brief pinch when the cannula is inserted. A small bruise or discomfort around the vein can occur, and other reactions are possible, although uncommon. That is why every case is assessed beforehand and a doctor remains present throughout the infusion.
Does IV therapy help with a hangover?
IV therapy is not a hangover treatment, and we cannot promise any particular outcome. If you feel dehydrated after an event, a doctor can assess you and recommend the most appropriate care. If you experience confusion, persistent vomiting, difficulty breathing or loss of consciousness, call 112.
Do I need blood tests beforehand?
Not always. If the doctor considers tests necessary, they will tell you during the video consultation. If you have recent blood test results, please share them with us to support the assessment.
What happens if the doctor decides IV therapy is not appropriate?
If the doctor decides this during the video consultation, we will not schedule a visit: you will only pay the €50 assessment fee and the doctor will discuss alternative options. If the doctor does not confirm the indication after the in-person examination, the infusion will not be administered.
Where is the service available?
Video consultations are available wherever you are. In-person treatment is available throughout Barcelona city, at your home, hotel or workplace. We also serve the metropolitan area with a €30 travel surcharge. For other areas, please ask us on WhatsApp.
Which languages do you speak?
Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Italian and Portuguese.
Is this an emergency medical service?
No. This is a scheduled service. For a medical emergency, call 112.
