Direct Primary Care Mebane will contact you for a no-cost telephone screening visit prior to your appointment. This is to ensure there are no contraindications for you to receive IV Infusion treatments and to confirm if this is an appropriate treatment for you.
If you have copies of any lab work performed in the last year, please bring with you to your appointment. If you do not have recent lab work, or do not have access to it, we can provide orders for pre-labs.
Patient Instructions
1. IV therapy may take up to 60-90 minutes, depending on the infusion and other factors. Please plan your schedule accordingly, to allow for adequate time for your infusion.
2. Always drink at least 2 large glasses of water (24 ounces) before and after treatment.
3. Eat a good meal before your treatment and bring a snack with you to your treatment. Your meal should include a combination of protein and carbohydrates.
4. Do not drink soda, coffee or tea prior to your treatment. Caffeine dehydrates you and makes it more difficult to insert an IV.
5. Do not take vitamin and mineral supplements prior to your infusion.
6. Do not exercise 2 hours before or after your treatment.
Inform the office of any changes to your medical history prior to your IV infusion treatment.
7. Inform the office if you are pregnant or nursing.
8. Bring something to entertain yourself during the infusions, such as a good book.
