IV Drip Therapy
Wellness
IV drips deliver fluids, vitamins or antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione directly into a vein. Bangkok clinics sell drips for hydration, hangovers, immunity and skin brightening. They take 30–60 minutes. Evidence is strong for dehydration but limited for most wellness claims.

What's in a drip

Common mixes include saline for hydration, vitamin C, B-complex, and glutathione (marketed for skin brightening). A doctor should check your health history first, as some ingredients are unsuitable for people with kidney, heart or G6PD conditions.

Be realistic

Drips rehydrate quickly. Claims about immunity, detox or whitening are not well proven, so treat them as optional.

Frequently asked questions

Does glutathione IV whiten skin?

Evidence is weak and effects, if any, are temporary.

Who should avoid IV drips?
