Intravenous therapy is a technique to place a catheter inside a vein to provide access to the vein, allowing a medical professional to administer fluids and medication to a patient. IV access allows the body to have more immediate and efficient access to medicine than by other methods, such as taking pills, making it the fastest route to deliver medication and fluid replacement.
Urgentology Care provides IV treatment in Arlington and Colleyville. Call us at (817) 799-7273 to learn more.
Many conditions can be safely treated using IV access in an office setting, without going to the emergency room or being hospitalized for days.
IVs may be used to treat conditions such as:
An IV can deliver the medication or hydration your body needs very quickly, making it one of the most effective treatment options. If you have a medical condition that can be treated with IV medications, but you are worried about being hospitalized, the team at Urgentology Care may be able to help.
At Urgentology Care, our team has extensive training and clinical experience in administering IV fluids and medications. As an urgent care center, we offer same-day appointments and accept walk-in patients. If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, IV treatment might be the most appropriate option for you. Come see us at Urgentology Care at our Viridian clinic in North Arlington.
IV insertion can be slightly uncomfortable, but the overall experience is generally painless. Our experienced medical professionals will ensure a comfortable and efficient procedure.
The duration of an IV treatment can vary depending on the specific procedure and the amount of fluids or medications being administered. Most treatments take between 30 minutes to an hour.
It is generally recommended to avoid driving immediately after an IV treatment, especially if you have received medications that may affect your alertness.
The most common side effects are minor and localized, such as a small bruise or slight tenderness at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare when administered by trained professionals.
Patients with certain pre-existing medical conditions, particularly severe kidney disease, congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled hypertension, should consult with a doctor before receiving an IV.
Choose urgent care for IVs when you have non-life-threatening conditions like severe dehydration, mild heat exhaustion, or a debilitating migraine. Go to the ER for emergencies such as chest pain or severe bleeding.
At Urgentology Care, walk-ins are generally welcome for IV treatments, though calling ahead can sometimes minimize your wait time.

“Heard about this place through a friend and decided to give it a try even though I live 25 min away. It was a great choice because the nurses and doctor were very attentive and cared to listen to everything I had to say.”
