Intravenous Medications

Intravenous (IV) medications are drugs administered directly into a person's vein through a small tube called a catheter. This method allows the medication to enter the bloodstream quickly for fast and effective treatment. IV medications are used for various reasons, such as delivering fluids, nutrition, or medicines when oral intake isn't possible or too slow. The process involves healthcare professionals carefully preparing and inserting the catheter to ensure safety and proper dosing. This method provides controlled, immediate delivery of medications, which is especially important in hospitals or emergencies.
