Every visit, without exception
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.
Treatment Details
Every fact about your first visit, in plain language.
Most first-time patients arrive with the same set of unspoken questions. They are answered below in the order most people think them — from "how much will I need" to "what if I'm pregnant."

01IV Therapy 101
The procedure itself.
IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, and selected medications directly into the bloodstream via a peripheral intravenous line. Common formulations include hydration drips, vitamin C, glutathione, and Myers' cocktail variants.
How long it's been around
IV nutrient therapy has clinical roots in mid-20th century. The Myers' cocktail has been used since the 1970s. Modern wellness-positioned IV therapy gained prominence in the 2010s.
What we treat with it
Adjunctive support for dehydration, fatigue, post-illness recovery, jetlag, athletic recovery, and selected medical indications (e.g., documented B12 or iron deficiency).
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.
02Medical Leadership
The same physician, from first question to final follow-up.
IV therapy at Oshun is overseen by Dr. Rockhead, who screens for appropriate indication and contraindications at consultation.
Dr. Charles Rockhead, Medical Director — Oshun Cosmetic Services, Kingston.
Dr. Charles Rockhead
Medical Director · Board-Certified OB/GYN · 30+ years of practice
Dr. Charles Rockhead is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with more than thirty years of practice in Kingston. He is the Medical Director of Oshun Cosmetic Services and the founding physician of Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice.
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.
How much you'll need
Single session or short course depending on indication.
Will it hurt?
Brief discomfort from IV insertion. The drip itself is painless.
How long the visit takes
45–90 minutes including placement and infusion.
Time off after
No downtime.
04Results & aftercare
Recovery and follow-up.
Hydration and vitamin effects are immediate for the duration of the infusion. Sustained benefits depend on the indication.
The days before your visit
Be well-hydrated. Avoid alcohol the day before. Eat a light meal. Disclose all medications, allergies, and conditions.
Right after your visit
Resume normal activities. Mild bruising at the IV site is possible.
Two-week follow-up
Single-session: no formal follow-up. Series: review at end of course.
05Is IV Therapy right for you
Who gets the most out of IV Therapy at Oshun.
Who should not have IV Therapy
Congestive heart failure or severe renal disease (fluid overload risk), severe coagulopathy, active infection at IV site, known allergy to components.
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.
06Logistics, cost & safety
Booking and pricing.

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.
