Everything you
need to know.

It is a procedure that delivers fluids and, depending on the formula, vitamins, minerals or medication directly into the bloodstream. Its use should be clinically assessed, since not everyone needs or benefits from intravenous administration.

Like any intravenous procedure, it carries possible risks and contraindications. That is why we carry out an individual assessment and monitor the whole procedure. A session may be declined or stopped for safety reasons.

No. IV therapy does not replace a medical consultation, diagnosis or treatment. If you have a medical condition or persistent symptoms, or take medication regularly, it is important to make sure the procedure is right for your situation.

Sessions are carried out by nurses registered with the Portuguese Nursing Board (Ordem dos Enfermeiros), who stay with you from start to finish. Before each session, a doctor reviews your health form (by video call if needed) and writes an individual prescription, following written clinical protocols.

The infusion usually takes 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the formula. Also allow time for the assessment and preparation, and for observation at the end: at least 15 minutes, or 30 minutes if the drip contains medication.

You may feel a small pinch when the IV goes in, similar to a blood test. If you are afraid of needles or tend to feel dizzy during this kind of procedure, let us know in advance so we can adapt the procedure and make you more comfortable.

You can choose from the available formulas and request the add-ons shown on the site. The composition of each drip is set in advance, and its administration always depends on a clinical assessment.

No. For safety reasons, we do not administer products brought by clients. Every component we use has a verifiable source, composition, dose and storage conditions.

No. These products are not currently part of the formulas available at Solace IV. We only work with the options shown in our catalog.

Yes. We follow a written clinical protocol. We do not give drips during pregnancy (or possible pregnancy) or breastfeeding, to anyone under 18, to people with diabetes or active cancer, or to people with severe heart failure, moderate or severe chronic kidney disease, moderate or severe liver disease, a fever of 38.5 °C (101.3 °F) or more, a clotting disorder, a known allergy to a component or a history of severe allergic reaction, nor within 6 hours of alcohol or other substances. Some components have their own contraindications, such as G6PD deficiency or kidney stones for drips with vitamin C. That is why the health form and the medical assessment are mandatory.

It depends on the medication, the formula you choose and your general health. Some medications can interact or call for extra precautions. List all the medications and supplements you take on the health form, including over-the-counter ones.

Not always. Whether you need tests depends on your clinical situation and the formula you want. Once we have reviewed your health form, we tell you if any additional assessment is needed before the session starts.

At Solace IV, as a precaution, we generally keep at least 14 days between sessions. The right frequency depends on the composition of the drip, your health and whether there is a clinical indication.

If you had a session less than 14 days ago, say so on the health form. We need to know when it was and what the drip contained so we can assess whether another one is possible.

No. The service is for adults aged 18 to 65. Over 65, only after an individual medical assessment: talk to us before booking.

It depends on your symptoms. With a fever of 38.5 °C (101.3 °F) or more, or a suspected widespread infection, we do not give the drip and the right course is a medical assessment; between 37.8 and 38.4 °C, the doctor decides. Chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, confusion, vomiting blood, black stools, severe abdominal pain, or vomiting and diarrhea for more than 48 hours are signs to call 112 or go to the emergency department. Mobile IV therapy is not an emergency service.

No. We do not give drips during pregnancy, if pregnancy is possible, or during breastfeeding. The safety of these intravenous formulas at these times has not been established.

No. Under our clinical protocol, we do not give drips to anyone with diabetes of any type (type 1, type 2 or gestational).

It depends. The World Anti-Doping Agency’s Prohibited List bans intravenous infusions of more than 100 mL in 12 hours outside hospital, unless you have a therapeutic use exemption, and all our drips are 1000 mL. If you are subject to anti-doping testing, we do not give the Performance Drip, and for the other drips, check with your federation first.

The nurse stays with you for the whole procedure and always carries emergency equipment, including what is needed to treat a severe allergic reaction. If an adverse reaction occurs, the infusion is stopped and the situation is managed according to the protocol. If necessary, we call 112.

Travel is included in Lisbon, Amadora, Oeiras, Carnaxide, Queluz, Cacém, Odivelas and Sacavém. Cascais, Estoril, Sintra, Loures and Almada carry an additional €50 fee. We also travel to other places, subject to a quote and availability.

We hold sessions in private homes, hotels and short-term rentals. We just need a suitable space that is comfortable, well lit and clean, with a bathroom, so the procedure can be done safely.

Yes, subject to the team’s availability. Sessions from 7 PM on carry an evening surcharge, shown before the booking is confirmed.

Yes. We organize sessions for several people, including events, and a health assessment and individual consent from each participant are mandatory. Groups get special terms, with a discount from the third person on.

Add-ons have a fixed price of €50, which covers the materials, preparation and procedures involved in giving them. Whether an add-on can be included always depends on whether it is clinically appropriate.

Yes. The prices shown do not include VAT: if you need an invoice, VAT is added at the applicable legal rate. Let us know when you book. A receipt is issued for every session. If you have health insurance, you can submit the documents to your insurer to find out whether they cover part of the cost. Coverage depends on the terms of your policy.

Yes. With more than 24 hours’ notice, you can ask to reschedule or for a full refund, in line with the terms of the service. For cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, the terms of our cancellation policy apply.

The information collected on the health form is handled confidentially and used to assess and deliver the service safely, and to meet the applicable legal obligations. Data processing complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Unless there is a clinical reason not to, we recommend that you drink water as usual, have a light meal and wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to your arm. Avoid alcohol and other substances before the session, and let us know if anything about your health has changed.

Just a clean, comfortable space where you can lie down or sit, with good lighting and access to a bathroom. We bring everything needed, including the IV equipment.

After drips with magnesium (the Myers' Classic, the Performance Drip or the magnesium extra) or with medication (the Hangover Reset, the anti-nausea or the anti-inflammatory extra), you should not drive for the next 4 to 6 hours. After the others, you can get on with your day as normal as long as you feel well: if you feel dizzy or drowsy, do not drive. Before the session ends, we explain the specific precautions.
