Frequently Asked Questions: 

Why do IV therapy? 
It’s a great addition for people that are health and fitness minded or people that want to replenish their body of essential vitamins, amino acids and minerals. These nutrients work to help prevent illness and increase energy levels.

What should I expect?  
Before your first treatment a complete medical history must be completed by the nurse practitioner.  The history will provide risk assessment of the patient which includes a list of current medications as well as any active diseases.  It is important to begin hydrating 24 hours prior to your appointment for easier access to your veins.

Can anyone do IV therapy? 
It’s very safe and most people will enjoy the benefits.  However, you’re not a good candidate for IV therapy if you have kidney disease, active liver disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes or hypertension.

Are there side effects? 
 Most people feel very good after IV therapies.  However, some people will temporarily feel worse; symptoms include headache, general uncomfortable feeling, diarrhea or constipation, flu-like symptoms or body aches.  These negative-like symptoms may arise from certain ingredients causing a strong detox effect and the organs are being overworked.

How long does it take?  
Most IV’s given at Calista only take 30-45 minutes.  Feel free to bring any internet device to keep up with your work, reading or listen to music.

Is there an alternative to IV therapy?  
Yes, we offer several injections that will help to replenish vital nutrients.  These are a great alternative to IV therapies and can be done in the office in less than 5 minutes.  You’ll love the Tri-Immune Boost injection.
