IV Drip Therapy in Regina
IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins and minerals straight into your bloodstream through a small line in your arm or hand.
At The Kate Clinic, every infusion is customized for you by our nurse practitioner and registered nurse team, based on your health history and your wellness goals.
THE CLINICAL MECHANISM
How an IV Infusion Works
An infusion goes directly into a vein, so it skips the digestive tract entirely. A drip is a balanced solution of electrolytes, with vitamins, minerals or antioxidants added depending on the formulation chosen for you.
Our Infusions
We offer three types of infusion, and our nurse practitioner and registered nurse team tailor yours to you:
Hydration
Isotonic saline or lactated Ringer’s solution, to restore fluid balance.
Antioxidants
Vitamin C or glutathione. Both are antioxidants, which play a role in protecting your cells from oxidative stress.
Vitamins and Minerals
B-complex vitamins and mineral blends. B vitamins play a role in energy metabolism.
OUR WELLNESS TREATMENTS
Pairing IV With Our Other Treatments
Some patients book a vitamin IM injection between infusions. It’s a 10-minute appointment rather than a 75-minute one.
We also offer NAD+ injections as a separate booster. Whether either one makes sense for you is something we work out at your consultation.

Common Questions About IV Drip Therapy
Most infusions last between 45 and 60 minutes, given at a controlled rate for your comfort. Allow 75 minutes for the whole appointment.
You may feel a brief pinch when the small catheter goes into your arm or hand. We encourage you to relax during the infusion.
A registered nurse starts your infusion and monitors you for the whole drip. Your formulation is planned with our nurse practitioner.
Side effects are rare, and typically limited to minor bruising where the line went in. We check your vitals before and after every session.
IV infusions at The Kate Clinic range from $125 to $200, plus GST. The price depends on your formulation: a hydration infusion costs less than one with antioxidants or added vitamins. At your consultation, your provider recommends a formulation and confirms its cost with you. Vitamin and NAD+ boosters are priced separately.
CLINICAL STANCE
Medical Governance and Safety
Every infusion at The Kate Clinic is given by licensed medical professionals. Before each one, we review your medical history and check your vitals, and we use sterile, single-use equipment. That review is also how we catch anything that means an IV isn’t right for you, before you start.
