Age and Weight Requirements
Age 12 or older+
Kids Mini Myers IV is available for ages 12 and up. We do not treat children under 12.
Weight 100 lbs or more+
Clients must weigh at least 100 lbs for this half-volume, half-dose formula to be appropriate.
Parental or legal guardian consent+
A parent or legal guardian must consent to the treatment before we book the visit.
Parent or guardian present for the entire appointment+
A parent or guardian must be present for the full duration of the appointment. This is a hard requirement, not a recommendation.
Full vital signs assessment by our medical provider before the drip starts+
Our medical provider checks vital signs and reviews the intake before any fluid is started, to confirm the drip is appropriate that day.
Child must be willing to receive the IV+
Our nurses will not administer an IV to a child who is refusing or extremely distressed. If your child is unwilling, we will not start the drip.
For children under 12 or under 100 lbs, talk to your pediatrician about appropriate options. Some severe pediatric conditions (significant vomiting, dehydration, fever) may need ER or urgent care evaluation rather than mobile IV therapy.
Kids Mini Myers IV at a Glance
Kids Mini Myers IV is a smaller-volume version of our adult Myers' Cocktail IV, dosed for adolescent and teenage clients. The fluid volume is 500mL (half of an adult drip), and the vitamin and mineral doses are reduced for pediatric appropriateness.
This drip is designed for situations where a teen needs more support than oral fluids can provide. Most commonly, this includes mild to moderate dehydration from stomach bugs, sports-related dehydration, or recovery from illness when oral intake is hard. Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes.
Full Ingredient Breakdown
| Ingredient | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Normal Saline or Lactated Ringers | Half-volume fluid replacement for age-appropriate hydration |
| Magnesium Chloride | Half-dose magnesium for muscle and nerve support |
| Methylcobalamin B12 | Half-dose B12 for energy recovery |
| B Complex | Half-dose B Complex |
| Vitamin C | Half-dose vitamin C for antioxidant and immune support |
| Zinc Chloride | Standard zinc for immune support |
| Glutathione SIVP | Half-dose glutathione for antioxidant support |
Our medical provider reviews every pediatric intake before the drip is administered. A full vital signs assessment happens before the IV starts.
When to Book Kids Mini Myers IV
Most families book this when a teen has a stomach bug and can't keep fluids down, after a long tournament or practice in the heat, or when a run-down week has left them flat and oral fluids just aren't catching up. It's built for the situations where a bit of extra support helps more than another day of Gatorade and rest.
What to Expect During the Appointment
Every Kids Mini Myers IV appointment follows the same pediatric protocol. A parent or guardian is required for the full duration.
Why Kids Mini Myers IV Beats Other NYC Options
Most NYC Mobile IV Companies Do Not Treat Kids at All
Most NYC mobile IV providers limit services to adults only. Zen IV Spa is one of the few mobile providers that offers pediatric care with appropriate protocols.
No Trip to Urgent Care
Manhattan urgent care for pediatric dehydration commonly runs $500 to $800 plus 2 to 4 hours of waiting room time. Kids Mini Myers IV at $229 is delivered to your home with no waiting.
Real Pediatric Protocol
We use half-volume fluids and half-dose vitamins for age-appropriate care. Full vital signs assessment before the drip. Parent present throughout. Medical provider approval required.
Same Day During Sickness
If a teen wakes up with a stomach bug at 7 AM, we can often have a nurse at your door by 10 AM same day. No appointment delays.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kids Mini Myers IV
How much does Kids Mini Myers IV cost?+
Kids Mini Myers IV is $229. No hidden travel fees in our standard service area.
What is the age requirement?+
Ages 12 and up, 100 lbs and up, with parental consent and a parent or guardian present throughout. We do not treat children under 12 or under 100 lbs.
Why not younger children?+
Younger children have different fluid balance, smaller veins, and different medical considerations. Mobile IV therapy is appropriate for older teens with adult-like physiology. Younger pediatric needs are better handled by pediatricians, pediatric urgent care, or pediatric ER if needed.
Does my child have to want it?+
Yes. Our nurses will not administer an IV to a child who is refusing or extremely distressed. If your child is unwilling, we will not start the drip and there is no charge if we have not begun setup.
Do I need to stay in the room?+
Yes. A parent or legal guardian must be present for the entire appointment. This is a hard requirement, not a recommendation.
Is this safe?+
When administered by a licensed registered nurse with proper protocols and medical oversight, IV therapy is safe for older teens who meet our requirements. Vital signs assessment, half-dose formula, parent supervision, and medical provider approval are all built-in safety steps.
When should I go to the ER instead?+
Severe vomiting (more than 24 hours), high fever (102+), severe abdominal pain, signs of severe dehydration (no urine for 8+ hours, confusion), or any suspected serious illness. Our medical provider can help you decide if you are unsure.
Can I add anything to my child's IV?+
Add-ons are not offered on Kids Mini Myers IV. The pediatric formula is fixed for safety. If additional support is needed, talk to our medical provider.
How do I book?+
Parent or guardian must book. Call (332) 239-2005, text, or book online. Our medical provider will call to confirm the child's history before dispatching a nurse.
