The Cold & Flu IV is a liter of fluids with vitamin C, zinc and glutathione. A licensed provider may also order medicine for nausea or body aches. It costs $329 with travel included in our Los Angeles service area. A registered nurse comes to your home or hotel, and the visit takes about 45 to 60 minutes. It supports hydration and comfort. It is not a cure.

What’s in the Cold & Flu drip

Your provider sets the final formula for you. A typical Cold & Flu bag includes:

IV fluids

Fever, sweating and a poor appetite can leave you dry, and a liter of fluid can help you rehydrate.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports normal immune function.

Zinc

Zinc is a mineral your immune cells need to work normally.

Glutathione

Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes, given here as a short push at the end of the drip.

Comfort medicine

Medicine such as ondansetron for nausea or ketorolac for aches is given only on a provider’s order, and the provider sets the final formula.

What this drip does, and what it doesn’t

Let’s be clear up front. No IV cures a cold, the flu or a stomach virus. Your body has to clear the bug in its own time. What an IV can do is help with the things that make sick days harder: being low on fluids, not eating well and feeling too queasy to drink.

That is why this bag starts with a full liter of fluid. Vitamin C and zinc are nutrients your immune system uses every day, and glutathione is an antioxidant made by your own body. If nausea or aches are part of the picture, the provider can order medicine for comfort. Many clients book it so they can rest at home with less effort.

A sick-day visit, step by step

You book online from bed and fill out the health form. Our provider reviews it and, for new clients, does a short video call. They will ask about your symptoms, how long you have been sick and what medicine you have already taken. Please list every cold and pain medicine, so nothing is doubled up.

Your nurse arrives wearing a mask and gloves and sets up right at your bedside or couch. They check your temperature, blood pressure, pulse and oxygen level before starting. If anything looks worrying, they will tell you and help you decide on next steps. Otherwise the drip runs while you rest. You do not have to sit up straight or make conversation.

When to skip the IV and see a doctor

A mobile IV is for mild to moderate sick days in otherwise healthy adults. Some signs need a doctor or an emergency room, not a wellness nurse. Call 911 or go to the ER for trouble breathing, chest pain, blue lips, confusion, a stiff neck with fever, or fainting. Go to urgent care for a high fever that will not come down.

Also tell the provider if you have heart failure, kidney disease, very high blood pressure or G6PD deficiency. Extra fluid and high-dose vitamin C are not safe for everyone. If you are pregnant, we need clearance from your OB before any drip. The provider may change the formula or decline the visit, and that is for your safety.

FAQ

Cold & Flu IV questions

Ask us anything
Is an IV good when you have a cold or the flu?

It can help you rehydrate when drinking is hard, and some people find that makes resting easier. It does not kill the virus or shorten the illness in any proven way. Think of it as comfort care that comes to you, on top of rest and your doctor’s advice.

Will the nurse come if I’m contagious?

Yes. Our nurses wear a mask and gloves and clean their gear between visits. Please tell us your symptoms when you book, and wear a mask during the visit if you can. If others in your home are sick too, each person can book their own drip.

Can the Cold & Flu IV help with a stomach bug?

Many clients book it for exactly that, since a stomach bug makes it hard to keep fluids down. The liter of fluid goes around your stomach. The provider may also order anti-nausea medicine, such as ondansetron. If you cannot keep anything down for more than a day, see a doctor.

When should I go to urgent care or the ER instead?

Go to the ER or call 911 for trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion, fainting or a stiff neck with fever. See urgent care for a fever that stays high, symptoms that keep getting worse after several days, or if you have a serious health condition. A mobile IV is not emergency care.

Why do you ask about G6PD before vitamin C?

G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition that affects red blood cells. In people who have it, high doses of vitamin C by IV can damage those cells. So the provider asks about it on every health form. If you have it or are not sure, the provider may lower the dose or leave vitamin C out.
