Immune Support IV
IV Therapy · VEI Clinic, Gangnam, Seoul
Quick Intro

What Is an “Immune Support IV”?
A physician-selected IV blend designed to support hydration and general immune function during times of stress (e.g., travel, seasonal colds). Formulations typically include:
- Balanced fluids & electrolytes for hydration
- Vitamins and trace minerals (tailored by the doctor after a brief check)
- Optional symptom-targeted medicines (only if clinically appropriate)
Who It’s For (Common Use Cases)
- Jet lag, long flights, or intensive work weeks
- Seasonal bugs going around at work or at home
- Post-illness recovery when hydration is hard to maintain
- Busy travelers seeking quick, English-friendly care in Gangnam
How Your Visit Works (Step-by-Step)
- Check-in → share symptoms, meds, allergies, and travel history.
- Brief medical exam → vitals and focused questions; tests if needed.
- Doctor plan → confirms candidacy and selects an appropriate IV.
- IV session → typically 30–60 minutes in a comfortable room.
- Discharge guidance → simple aftercare instructions in clear English; prescriptions if indicated.
Safety First
IV therapy isn’t for everyone. Please inform the doctor if you:
- Are pregnant/breastfeeding or have kidney, heart, or liver conditions
- Have a history of G6PD deficiency or are on anticoagulants/diuretics
- Recently had major surgery or have an active infection requiring hospital care
Possible mild effects: a temporary chill, a metallic taste, or a small bruise at the IV site. Seek immediate help for persistent dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain.

Can I get this before a long flight?
Yes, many travelers schedule IV therapy before or after long-haul flights. The doctor will confirm candidacy.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the formulation and your clinical needs, which are determined at the medical check. You’ll receive clear guidance before proceeding.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Often yes (e.g., hydration + symptom relief), but the physician will decide what’s safe and appropriate for your situation.
