Question 1

How much does an IV drip cost in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

BestDOC IV drips start at AED 189 (Hydration Express) and go up to AED 1,199 (NAD+ 500mg). The coordinator quotes the price upfront based on the drip the doctor signs off on.

Question 2

Is an IV drip safe at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when administered by a DHA-licensed nurse with a doctor-reviewed prescription, sterile single-use kit, and basic monitoring. People with kidney disease, heart failure, certain pregnancies, or known allergies should consult their doctor first.

Question 3

How long does an IV drip take?

Accepted Answer

Most drips take 25 to 60 minutes. NAD+ infusions run longer, from 60 minutes to four hours depending on dose. The nurse stays for the duration plus a short post-drip observation.

Question 4

Do IV drips really work?

Accepted Answer

They work for hydration and correcting documented vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Evidence for general wellness, anti-ageing, or skin claims is limited; treat marketing language with caution. Always combine with food, sleep, and clinical advice.

Question 5

Can I get an IV drip during Ramadan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BestDOC schedules drips around iftar and suhoor. A nurse can administer post-iftar, subject to your scholar's guidance. Hydration Express and Hydration+B are popular Ramadan choices.

Question 6

Are IV drips covered by insurance in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

BestDOC is a self-pay practice and does not bill insurers directly. You receive a detailed invoice you can submit yourself if your plan reimburses out-of-network home wellness services.

Question 7

What are the side effects of an IV drip?

Accepted Answer

Mild bruising at the vein site, brief lightheadedness, and occasional vein irritation. Rarely, electrolyte shifts or allergic reactions. The nurse monitors throughout; call BestDOC or 998 if you have breathing difficulty, chest pain, or severe symptoms afterwards.

Question 8

Is BestDOC's IV drip nurse DHA-licensed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every nurse, doctor, and physiotherapist at BestDOC is DHA-licensed, and the medical director signs off on every drip plan.
