Edema is the accumulation of fluid in various tissues due to inflammation, impaired vascular tone, or water-electrolyte metabolism disorders. This problem can be solved by influencing the activity of inflammation and the tone of blood vessels, while simultaneously correcting the fluid balance in the body, i.e., ensuring the proper distribution of fluid in the three fluid compartments: vessels, cells, and interstitial space.
This is the goal we achieve with the "Treatment of edema" IV drip. It helps to cope with puffiness of various origins in almost any area of the body. We use a combination of medications that reduce inflammation, protect blood vessels, and restore water-electrolyte metabolism. The IV drip helps reduce existing edema and supports the prevention of the re-accumulation of fluid in soft tissues.
Most often, the face, legs, subcutaneous tissues, and areas of traumatic injury suffer from edema. Our clinic provides personalized IV therapy to help manage various types of edema after a comprehensive evaluation. We use the "Treatment of edema" IV drip and, if necessary, prescribe additional treatment. Therapy is prescribed by a doctor based on the results of the diagnosis.
What the "Treatment of edema" IV drip does
The "Treatment of edema" IV drip is designed to help relieve puffiness of various origins. Since the underlying causes and mechanisms of edema vary, the combination of active ingredients targets several underlying factors at once, namely:
-
Increases vascular tone – blocks fluid filtration from blood vessels into soft tissues
-
Strengthens vascular walls – thanks to this mechanism, a long-term anti-edema effect develops, which persists even after the completion of the therapy course
-
Normalizes water-electrolyte balance – improves the distribution of fluid in various body environments
-
Improves lymphatic drainage – ensures fluid outflow through lymphatic vessels, preventing congestion
-
Reduces inflammation – thanks to this mechanism, a reduction in fluid influx to damaged tissues is achieved
Who is the IV drip indicated for
The IV drip is formulated to assist with various forms of localized and mild-to-moderate fluid retention. The drugs included in its composition are used in various fields of medicine, from the correction of mild water-electrolyte metabolism disorders to severe conditions in neurosurgery and traumatology. Indications for use:
-
Edema after injuries, including bruises, ligament sprains
-
Facial edema, general predisposition to edema
-
Leg edema of lymphovenous origin, varicose veins
-
A feeling of heaviness in the legs (even without visible varicose veins)
-
Secondary edema associated with inflammatory diseases
Contraindications and safety
The intravenous drip therapy procedure has general contraindications, as well as separate specific contraindications for each drug included in the infusion cocktail. All of them are taken into account by the doctor. Intravenous infusions are carried out only after a medical examination to rule out contraindications:
-
Hypersensitivity to the components used
-
Severe renal or hepatic insufficiency
-
Decompensation of cardiovascular pathologies
-
Ongoing bleeding
-
Age under 18
-
Pregnancy
-
Lactation
How the procedure works
Before starting the procedure, a clinic specialist will conduct an examination, study your medical history, evaluate the indications, and rule out contraindications. The infusion is carried out as follows:
1. Settle into a comfortable treatment chair.
2. Our nurse prepares an individual sterile kit, strictly adhering to aseptic guidelines.
3. A medical professional gently inserts a catheter into a vein – you will feel a light prick, comparable to a routine blood draw.
4. Once the infusion is underway, you can comfortably pass the time: read a book, respond to messages, or simply relax. The infusion rate is selected individually.
5. After the procedure is finished, the nurse carefully removes the catheter and applies a fixing bandage.
6. The doctor will give you brief recommendations on your daily routine to maintain and sustain the results of the procedure and ensure that the edema does not return.
Results after the course
Although the drip can be used for one-time relief from puffiness, many patients undergo a course of therapy lasting from 2 to 8 days, depending on the indications. The long-term effect of infusion therapy is achieved gradually, as metabolic processes normalize and microcirculation improves:
-
Noticeable reduction in puffiness of the face, limbs, and soft tissues, improvement of body contours
-
Reduced heaviness in the legs, a feeling of lightness during movement, and relief from stiffness
-
Normalization of blood circulation, which reduces the risk of trophic skin disorders associated with varicose veins
-
Long-term strengthening of the vascular wall, which makes the body less susceptible to the recurrence of edema
-
Normalization of tissue healing processes after injuries and operations
-
Reduction of discomfort associated with inflammatory processes and pressure from excess fluid on tissues
