IV medications

IV (intravenous) medications are drugs administered directly into a patient’s vein, allowing quick and precise delivery of fluids, nutrients, or medicines. This method ensures rapid absorption into the bloodstream, making it effective for emergencies, dehydration, or when precise dosing is needed. IV medications are administered through a small tube called an IV line or catheter, which is inserted into a vein, typically in the arm or hand. This route provides immediate therapeutic effects, reduces the need for oral medications, and allows continuous or controlled dosing, making it essential in hospital and clinical settings.
