Intravenous (IV) Treatments in Cape Town

Evidence-based IV therapy — administered by doctors, grounded in real clinical benefit.

Only Doctors work at Fluid Medical, and we want to be able to look ourselves in the mirror at night and say we only treated our patients to the standard we were taught at medical school. That is why we do not make outrageous claims for our IV treatments. We focus on IV treatments that will actually make you look and feel better, beyond the placebo affect. This is why we focus on Vitamin B12, Iron and general rehydration. Depending on your needs and blood-work, we may also suggest other vitamin and mineral infusions. These treatments can also be brought to you, where you can have an infusion in the comfort of your own home.

The IV therapy market is full of bold claims. At Fluid Medical, we take a different approach. As a doctor-led practice, we focus only on IV treatments with genuine, evidence-based benefit — the ones that will actually make you look and feel better, not just sound impressive. Our patients deserve honesty, and that is what we deliver.

What We Treat With IV Therapy

Not every IV drip is created equal. We focus on treatments where the clinical evidence is clear and the benefit is real:

Vitamin B12 InfusionB12 deficiency is more common than most people realise, particularly in those with dietary restrictions, absorption issues, or high metabolic demand. Symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, low mood, and poor recovery. IV B12 delivery bypasses the digestive system entirely, ensuring full absorption and faster restoration of optimal levels.

Iron InfusionIron deficiency — even without full anaemia — can cause persistent fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, poor concentration, and compromised immune function. Oral iron supplementation is often poorly tolerated and slowly absorbed. An IV iron infusion restores levels efficiently and is particularly beneficial for athletes, menstruating women, and patients with absorption difficulties.

Rehydration TherapyEffective rehydration goes beyond drinking water. IV rehydration delivers fluids and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream, rapidly restoring fluid balance — whether from illness, intense physical exertion, or dehydration-related fatigue.

Additional Vitamin & Mineral InfusionsDepending on your individual needs and blood work results, we may recommend additional vitamin and mineral infusions tailored to your specific deficiencies and health goals. Every recommendation is based on your clinical assessment — not a standard menu.

Grounded in Evidence, Not Marketing

Many IV therapy providers make sweeping claims about detoxification, immune boosting, and anti-ageing. We don't. At Fluid Medical, every treatment we offer is one we can stand behind clinically — the standard we were trained to uphold at medical school, and the standard our patients deserve.

If a treatment isn't going to make a meaningful difference to how you look or feel, we won't recommend it.

IV Therapy at Home — House Call Infusions

IV treatments don't have to mean a clinic visit. At Fluid Medical, we can bring your infusion to you — administered by a doctor in the comfort of your own home. Whether you're recovering from illness, managing a busy schedule, or simply prefer the convenience of home-based care, our house call IV service makes high-quality treatment accessible wherever you are in Cape Town.
