VEI IV · Immune Support
When You Wear Down Easily,
We Look at Fluids and Nutrients
The immune support IV is a supportive IV that replenishes fluids, vitamins and trace minerals during times when you wear down easily. An internal medicine specialist decides on the formulation after your consultation, and it is not an IV that treats or prevents colds or flu.
What's in It
The specialist tailors the formulation to you after your consultation.
- Fluids and electrolytes
- Vitamins and trace minerals
- Medication for symptoms, only when medically appropriate
What to Expect, and the Limits
We discuss whether fluid and nutrient support may help you feel a little more comfortable while your body recovers. Some people feel lighter within a few hours to the next day, but the IV is supportive care and not a treatment for colds or flu.
Results can differ from person to person, and the specialist decides whether it is suitable for you after your consultation. If tests, medication or rest are more important, we guide you in that direction first.
Precautions and Safety
IV therapy is not right for everyone. Please let us know in advance if any of the following apply.
During the IV you may briefly feel chills, notice a metallic taste, or get a small bruise at the injection site. If dizziness persists or you feel short of breath or have chest pain, tell us right away.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have kidney, heart or liver disease
- You have G6PD deficiency (a red blood cell enzyme deficiency) or take anticoagulants or diuretics
- You recently had major surgery or have an infection that needs hospital care
How the Visit Works
- Check-in: symptoms, current medications and allergies
- Exam: vital signs and symptoms, with tests if needed
- Prescription: suitability confirmed and the formulation decided
- IV session: given in a private room with monitoring
- Discharge guidance: advice on fluids and rest, with a prescription if needed
The VEI Clinic Approach
An internal medicine specialist sees you in person before prescribing, and all IVs are given in private rooms. Sharing your symptoms, allergies and current medications when you book makes the visit smoother. If you have recent test results, please bring them.
After the IV, keep drinking plenty of water and rest, and come back for a follow-up visit if symptoms continue. For appointments, call 02-542-8275.

The total time, including check-in, exam, IV and discharge guidance, depends on the formulation and your condition. We will let you know when you book.
