Mobile Hydration IV Therapy

Mobile IV Hydration Therapy is a rapidly growing field in multiple cities across the United States and is likely to become more prominent in the Phoenix and Tucson metros of Arizona during the next few years. Mobile IV can provide a metabolic boost which is extremely useful for combatting dehydration, recovery from a fierce workout, even expediting recovery from one of those stubborn summer colds, or alleviating the….” after-effects” of hitting Old-town Scottsdale or Westgate a little too hard with Mobile IV. Apotheca provides all the various supplies, medications, and other ingredients necessary to provide this rapidly growing service. And we think that Mobile IV service’s growth potential is going to be explosive in the Third Quarter here in Arizona.

Most medical practices already staff trained professionals who are trained and certified to provide intravenous fluids, by extending this offering to your clients you can provide a lucrative additional revenue stream that is not dependent upon traditional medical billing through insurance providers.

According to Robert H. Shmerling, MD who wrote for health.harvard.edu

“Some services offering IV hydration include a “special blend of vitamins and electrolytes,” and, depending on a person’s symptoms (and budget), an anti-nausea drug, a pain medication, heartburn remedies, and other medications may be provided as well.”

He continued describing the costs,

“For example, one company offers infusions for $199 to $399. The higher cost is for fluids with various vitamins and/or electrolytes and other medications.”

This is a boutique service that is not strictly speaking a “medical necessity”, falling into a similar category as cosmetic procedures or even palliative care for patients with other underlying medical issues.

So Why Will Mobile IV Be So Important In Arizona in the Third Quarter?

It is really a complex series of reasons ranging from climate to lifestyle, demographics, and occupation.

IT HAS BEGUN! Rehydration is Crucial to Climbing, Biking, Hiking, and Running Arizona’s Peaks

• Whether you’re on Camelback, Piestewa (Squaw) Peak, South or North Mountain: Every. Single. Year. People underestimate the harsh combination of heat, terrain, and inadequate hydration sometimes with deadly consequences.
  • This has become such an issue that the Arizona legislature has considered new laws to enable rescue services to penalize outdoor athletes who need to be rescued due to their own lack of preparation. Hydration before, during and after every outdoor expedition to the Arizona mountains is a MUST.
• Hydration IV Therapy a much more efficient delivery of life life-sustaining fluids. Drinking is not the most efficient way to stave off dehydration by any stretch of the imagination and in extreme circumstances, it just isn’t fast enough!
  • IV hydration takes about 30-45 minutes, it can take hours to drink and process enough water to replenish your body after running up an Arizona peak in 100+ degrees.
• Drinking from a water bottle after a workout causes the tissues in your throat and along your digestive tract to absorb most of the liquid. And much of the liquid is lost through urination before it can be absorbed by the body. All the tissues in your body need hydration, especially in warmer, drier climates.
  • This is one of the reasons you have to drink a lot of water to sufficiently hydrate yourself in the summer months. Hydration IV therapy injects the fluids straight into your bloodstream so your body can deliver the fluids where you need them most. It is a faster, more efficient way to hydrate your body.

• Provide a pre-exercise endurance boost
• Contribute to a well-rounded recovery plan after an event or workout

Final Thoughts

The benefits of Mobile IV treatments are very well documented and the benefits of medical practices offering Mobile IV services are also significant, permitting a relatively low-cost, low-risk, high impact new line of business that is relatively unaffected by COVID19 lockdowns and as states lift mask mandates and restriction it is indeed potentially a more desirable method to ramp a practice back up to nominal operations. The risks of negative side effects to patients (limited largely to bruising, bleeding, and inflammation at the injection site) and therefore negative reviews and liabilities for medical practices are similarly small. Apotheca Wholesale Pharmaceuticals is well equipped and stocked to help your business explore this emerging market in 2021.
