Do You Provide High-Dose Vitamin C IV (HDIVC) Therapy?
YES!
What qualifies as High-Dose Vitamin C?
Doses above 15–20 grams are considered high-dose in clinical practice. Therapeutic protocols may range from 25–75+ grams depending on clinical goals and tolerance.
Is G6PD testing required?
Yes. For patient safety, documented normal G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) levels are required prior to infusions ≥15 grams. This screening reduces the rare but serious risk of hemolysis in deficient individuals.
How often is G6PD testing needed?
This is typically a one-time blood test unless medical history changes. We can order this through our partnered laboratory services if needed (see below).
Why does IV Vitamin C pricing vary by dose?
Cost reflects pharmaceutical-grade ascorbate, sterile compounding, infusion supplies, extended infusion time (90–180+ minutes), and clinical monitoring. Higher doses require longer administration time and individualized monitoring.
Is this covered by insurance?
High-dose IV Vitamin C is considered elective and is not typically covered by insurance. Payment is due at time of service.
Does this replace primary care?
No. IV Vitamin C therapy is complementary and does not substitute for ongoing medical care.
Vitamin C IV Pricing Tiers
Dose 10-15 grams. Typical Infusion Time ~60–75 minutes Cost $150-225
Dose 20-25 grams. Typical Infusion Time ~90 minutes. Cost $275-350
Dose 30-50 grams. Typical Infusion Time ~120–150 minutes. Cost $350-425
Dose 75 grams. Typical Infusion Time ~150–180 minutes. Cost $550

Do You Provide Iron Infusions?
YES!
Iron Infusion Therapy
What Type of Iron Do We Use?
We administer iron sucrose (Venofer), a well-established intravenous iron formulation commonly used in outpatient and hospital settings for the treatment of documented iron deficiency.
Who Is a Candidate for IV Iron?
IV iron may be appropriate for patients with iron deficiency anemia, low ferritin with symptoms, intolerance to oral iron, malabsorption conditions, or those needing more rapid iron repletion. A laboratory evaluation is required prior to treatment.
Required Lab Testing
Recent labs are required prior to infusion, including CBC, ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, and transferrin saturation. Additional testing may be recommended depending on medical history. You may have these emailed to us at info@drip-wellness.com, in certain circumstances we may accept clinician to clinician verbal requests.
How Dosing Is Determined
Dosing is individualized based on hemoglobin, ferritin, body weight, and calculated total iron deficit. The most common protocol is 200 mg per infusion, typically administered as a series of 3–5 treatments.
What to Expect During Treatment
Infusion time is approximately 30–60 minutes followed by a brief observation period. Iron sucrose is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects include temporary flushing, metallic taste, mild headache, or light headedness. Serious reactions are rare and monitored for in clinic.
Investment – Per Infusion
200 mg Iron Sucrose: $599 (45–75 minutes including monitoring)
Series Packages (if pre-paid)
3 Infusions (600 mg total): $1499
5 Infusions (1,000 mg total): $2499
Optional Services
Iron Lab Panel: $150–$225
Follow-Up Iron Panel: $95–$150
Important Notes
Iron infusion therapy is provided for documented iron deficiency and is complementary to, not a substitute for primary medical care. Services are self-pay.
As with all of our Drips, a Mobile fee of $150+ may be applied, please confirm when booking.
