Four things that are true of every visit

Care by an OB/GYN

Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.

30 years caring for women

Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every IV Therapy plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.

Written plan first

Every IV Therapy patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.

Conservative, considered

Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.

The honest version

Why IV therapy sometimes disappoints.

IV therapy disappoints when wellness claims exceed evidence, when underlying conditions weren't addressed first, or when patients expect dramatic effects.

Most wellness IV therapy delivers what good oral nutrition and adequate hydration would deliver, via the bloodstream. For documented deficiencies and dehydration, IV delivery is genuinely useful. For "general wellness," the evidence is much thinner than marketing suggests.

The other failure mode is using IV therapy as a substitute for diagnosis. Persistent fatigue or feeling unwell warrant workup — not just an IV drip.

At Oshun, we don't run that model. IV Therapy here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.

An IV Therapy visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.

i.

Consultation

Before any IV Therapy is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.

ii.

Preparation

Be well-hydrated. Avoid alcohol the day before. Eat a light meal. Disclose all medications, allergies, and conditions.

iii.

The IV session

A trained Oshun clinician places a peripheral IV, confirms placement, and starts the infusion. The patient rests during the 30–60 minute drip. Vital signs checked at start and end.

iv.

Recovery & follow-up

Resume normal activities. Mild bruising at the IV site is possible. Single-session: no formal follow-up. Series: review at end of course.

Is IV Therapy right for you

Who gets the most out of IV Therapy at Oshun.

IV Therapy isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.

Post-illness recovery

Recovery after gastrointestinal illness

Patients recovering from GI or febrile illness with dehydration often benefit from a single hydration session.

Documented vitamin deficiency

Treatment of confirmed B12 or iron deficiency

IV iron or B12 for documented deficiency is one of the evidence-supported indications.

Pre/post athletic event

Hydration around athletic events

Athletes use IV hydration around heavy training. Mixed evidence; reasonable for selected patients.

Travel-related dehydration

Long-haul flight dehydration

Single-session hydration after long-haul travel.

If this sounds right

The next step is a conversation, not a commitment.

Every IV Therapy patient at Oshun starts with a consultation. Twenty minutes, in-person at 9 Devon Road, with Dr. Rockhead. No procedure is scheduled, no quote is signed, no pressure either way. You leave with a plan and a price — or you leave with neither.

The honest answers

Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.

Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.

Is IV therapy safe?
When performed by trained clinicians with appropriate screening, IV therapy is generally safe.
Do IV vitamins work better than oral?
IV bypasses GI absorption — useful when absorption is limited or rapid replacement is needed. For most people, oral vitamins reach similar steady-state levels.
How long do IV therapy effects last?
Hydration effects are immediate but transient. Vitamin levels normalise to baseline within days.
Will IV therapy help my hangover?
IV hydration treats the dehydration component. Evidence for IV as superior to oral hydration for hangover is limited.
Can I have IV therapy if I'm pregnant?
Pregnancy warrants caution and a clear indication. Many wellness formulations lack pregnancy safety data.
Are there risks?
Bruising, vein irritation, rare infection, fluid overload in heart failure patients, allergic reaction.
How often can I have IV therapy?
Frequency depends on indication. Wellness sessions typically not recommended more often than weekly without medical reason.
Is IV therapy covered by insurance?
Documented medical indications may be covered. Wellness IV is not.
How do I book IV therapy at Oshun?
WhatsApp (876) 676-6297.
Two paths from here

One conversation away.

IV therapy has a real role in selected medical indications and a more limited role in general wellness.
