Intravenous
IV means intravenous (within a vein). This type of therapy involves inserting a needle into a vein in order to deliver medications or fluids directly into the bloodstream. IV therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, and is often the best option when quick absorption and delivery of medication is needed. While IV therapy can be uncomfortable for some, the benefits often outweigh the risks, making it an important tool in the medical arsenal.
