How Hangover IV Works
Fluids, an anti-nausea add-on, an anti-pain add-on and B vitamins. It treats the three causes of a hangover at once: dehydration, inflammation and nausea.
Strong for what is used (the anti-nausea add-on, the anti-pain add-on, magnesium and fluids are standard ER treatments); the setting is what is different.
A short health history and a complimentary consult. We check medications, allergies and anything that would make a formula a poor fit.
02
Prepared For You
Your bag is prepared from pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and checked against the provider note before your nurse leaves for you.
03
Sit, and Be Left Alone
A nurse places the line and stays in the room. Blanket, low light, no upsell. You leave when the bag does.
What to Expect
Here is how the visit usually feels, from the chair to the next morning.
20 minutesNausea gone (the anti-nausea add-on works fast).
45 minutesHeadache eases; fluids in.
2 hoursMost feel functional.
Safety, in plain words
Every drip is a medical treatment: a nurse takes vitals and history first. Not for people with heart or kidney failure without physician clearance, and not during pregnancy unless the drip is designed for it. Common: cool arm, metallic taste, flushing; rare: bruising, vein irritation, allergic reaction.
How we keep an eye on you
A licensed nurse stays with you the whole infusion, checks vitals before and after, and calls the medical director for anything outside protocol.
Farima was both extremely professional as well as competent and caring. They spent a lot of time with us, catering exactly what we needed medically and whole body wellness wise as well. They got here on time and on a weekend - it really made us feel cared for in a way we wouldn't at an urgent care or after hours at the ER. Totally worth the money - which was extremely affordable compared to clinics, etc and we had the added benefit of not having to leave the house! We definitely recommend!!!

Farima is truly the best. As someone with a chronic illness who needs IVs regularly, it can be really difficult to find nurses who are both skilled and genuinely caring. They always make me feel comfortable, listened to, and cared for the entire time. They are incredibly gentle, always get my veins easily, and make sure everything is done perfectly and professionally. You can tell they truly care about their patients and want the experience to be as stress-free as possible. I'm so grateful for their kindness, patience, and expertise!! I would recommend them to anybody who Is looking for a great IV experience 😊
Questions We Get
How fast does a hangover IV work?+
Most people feel the fluids and B vitamins before the bag is finished, usually within 30 to 45 minutes. The anti-nausea support works in the first 15 to 20 minutes. By the time the nurse packs up you are typically up, eating and functional, instead of losing the whole day.
What is in the Hangover IV?+
A full liter of Lactated Ringer's with electrolytes, B-complex and B12, glutathione for your liver, plus Rx anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory and stomach-acid support. The nurse screens you first and can adjust the bag at the door. $299, no travel fee.
How long does the visit take?+
About 45 to 60 minutes on your couch or hotel bed. In the city a nurse usually arrives within 1 to 3 hours of booking; we run 8AM to 11PM, seven days, across New York and New Jersey.
Does it hurt?+
A single small catheter placement — a few seconds of sting, then nothing. Our nurses place hundreds of lines a month, and we use the smallest gauge your veins will take.
How soon will I feel it?+
Hydration and B vitamins are often felt before you leave the chair. Antioxidant and skin benefits build over a series rather than a single visit.
Can I add to my drip?+
Yes. Glutathione, extra B12, zinc, anti-nausea and anti-pain add-on can be added at the chair, priced when you book, and only ever after the nurse confirms they suit you.
Do you take insurance?+
Elective infusions are not covered by insurance. We provide an itemised superbill on request, and HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
How long does it take?+
See the timeline above; most drips are 45–60 minutes, NAD+ two to four hours.
Can I get it at work?+
Yes, anywhere you can sit for an hour.
How often?+
Monthly is common for maintenance; hangover and nausea drips as needed.
One monthly credit toward any drip, member pricing on every add-on and program, and priority same-day booking anywhere we serve. Pause any month; cancel any time.
No. Gatorade goes into a stomach that is already upset, and most of it comes back up or sits there. An IV goes straight into the blood. You skip the stomach entirely. That is why it is 45 minutes instead of two days. A liter of fluid, the electrolytes, B vitamins and glutathione, plus a Rx anti-nausea add-on and an anti-pain add-on that no sports drink has.
A lost Sunday. $40 of Gatorade, Pedialyte and pills that do not work. Maybe a $200 urgent-care visit with a three-hour wait on a plastic chair. Or a nurse at your couch, usually within 1 to 3 hours, for $299, and the rest of the day back.
