Quick answer · What is Vitamin IV Drip?
A vitamin IV drip is an infusion of fluids with vitamins such as vitamin C and B-complex, often with magnesium, given through a small cannula over 30–60 minutes. It raises blood vitamin levels faster than tablets and helps with hydration, though evidence for broader benefits in healthy people is limited. A doctor screens you first, there is no downtime and most people feel refreshed on the day.

How it works
Direct delivery, with realistic expectations
Because the vitamins go straight into a vein, blood levels rise more quickly than with oral supplements. If you are low in a nutrient or dehydrated, that can help you feel better. If your levels are already normal, the body simply excretes the excess, which is why we recommend a drip only where it makes sense.
-
Health check
A doctor reviews your health, medicines and allergies and chooses the vitamin mix and dose.
-
Slow infusion
A fine cannula is placed in your arm and the drip runs over 30–60 minutes while you rest in a private room.
-
Back to your day
The cannula is removed, the site is covered and you can continue sightseeing straight away.
Inside the clinic
An hour to rest and rehydrate
There is no visual before and after for a vitamin drip. Many patients say they feel refreshed after resting quietly while the infusion runs, though how you feel varies.
A good fit if you…
- Feel run-down or dehydrated after travel or a busy schedule
- Have a poor appetite or have been eating irregularly on your trip
- Want a doctor-chosen formula rather than a one-size menu
- Can spare under an hour in a quiet room
Talk to your doctor first if you…
- Have G6PD deficiency (high-dose vitamin C can cause red blood cell breakdown)
- Have kidney disease, kidney stones, a heart condition or have been told to limit fluids
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an allergy to any vitamin, preservative or ingredient in the drip

FAQ
Vitamin IV Drip questions we hear every day
Does a vitamin IV drip hurt?
You feel a quick pinch when the cannula goes in, then usually just a cool sensation. B vitamins can cause a brief taste in the mouth that fades quickly.
Is a vitamin drip better than tablets?
It raises blood levels faster and bypasses the gut, which can help if you are deficient or unwell. For healthy people with a good diet, evidence of extra benefit is limited.
How often can I have a vitamin IV drip?
Most people have one occasionally, for example during a trip. Your doctor advises on frequency based on your health and the ingredients used.
What is in the drip?
Usually a saline or Ringer's base with vitamin C, B-complex and sometimes magnesium, similar to a Myers' cocktail. The exact mix and dose are decided by the doctor after your consultation.
Can I combine it with other drips?
Yes, ingredients can sometimes be combined, for example with extra fluids from a hydration IV. Your doctor checks the total dose is safe.
How much does a vitamin IV drip cost in Myeongdong?
Pricing depends on the drip formula and any add-ins, and on whether you book a single session or a course. The same price list applies to every nationality and you receive it in writing before treatment. See our price list.
