IV drips are everywhere on social media right now, but is there real science behind them, or is it just a trend? Dr Tanya gives an honest, doctor's-eye view of IV therapy — what it actually does, who it's really for, and the misconceptions worth clearing up.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why IV therapy has exploded on social media, and the real science behind it
  • The biggest misconception: it's not a beauty salon treatment, it's a medical one
  • Why patient selection and clinical judgement matter more than the drip itself
  • IV vs oral supplements — why absorption makes such a big difference
  • The most commonly used treatments: iron, vitamin C, and B12
  • Possible side effects, and why they're usually short-lived and manageable
  • "Need vs want" — when IV therapy is genuinely necessary versus optional
  • Why it should always support medical treatment, never replace it
  • What to check for before booking a session (certification, medical history checks, follow-up care)
  • Where she sees the most value
