What is an IV?
Intravenous drip (infusion therapy) is a treatment method in which special solutions and drugs are introduced into the bloodstream to improve the patient’s condition and recovery.
Of course, the effect of intravenous therapy is much more powerful and faster than taking drugs orally. Therefore, droppers are used when it is necessary to introduce a special solution at a certain speed and in sufficient volume. It also happens that some drugs can only be administered intravenously. In this case, a dropper is the only way for treatment and therapy.
How are IVs placed?
The intravenous infusion system is a thin flexible tube made of polymer material, at one end of which there is a thick short plastic needle, at the other end there is a metal needle, like on a regular syringe. There is a special clamp on the tube - it is used to regulate the speed of infusion.
A thick needle is used to pierce the stopper of the bottle with the solution, a thin needle is inserted into a vein and secured with a plaster. The solution enters the vein under the influence of gravity - therefore the bottle must be inverted and raised. For this, special tripods are used.
Intravenous drip infusion is a rather long procedure, and some medications may make you feel a little dizzy, so the patient is placed on a couch.
What to do if a person has “bad” veins, and an IV needs to be placed more than once? For such cases, there are convenient intravenous catheters. This catheter is a thin tube with a needle inside. After insertion into the vein, the doctor pulls out the needle, but the catheter remains - it has special “wings” for which it is convenient to attach it to the skin with a bandage. Many catheters are equipped with an additional port. You can quickly flush the catheter through it or administer medication.
The intravenous catheter can be worn for 3 days. Then it must be removed, otherwise inflammation may begin in the vein.
The benefits and harms of IV drips
Intravenous therapy is used in cases of illness or disease prevention. For example, an intravenous drip will help you quickly recover from flu and colds, respiratory diseases and various viral infections.
A dropper with a special solution helps quickly restore the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract) and well-being after food poisoning. Such a dropper allows you to cleanse the body of intoxication, including alcohol.
For general strengthening and maintaining the correct balance of vitamins in the body, special complex droppers are used. Vitamin droppers improve the general condition of the body, increase energy and activity. They are used strictly as prescribed by a doctor and the relevant tests have been carried out.
Thus, the benefit of an intravenous drip is achieved due to the rapid penetration of drugs into the blood and tissues of the body. However, the appointment of an IV, its placement and selection of the necessary solutions should be trusted only to professionals with medical education. Otherwise, you can aggravate the condition and cause irreparable harm to the body.
Types of droppers
- Health Detox. Droppers after drinking alcohol, food poisoning.
- General strengthening droppers. Amino acids, vitamins, energy boost, antioxidants, microelements.
- Restorative therapeutic droppers. For ARVI, bronchitis, pneumonia. For recovery after illness, tissue regeneration.
- Beauty Detox - droppers of youth and beauty, intravenous cosmetology. The drug Laennec.
- Stress Detox - to improve cerebral circulation, during increased emotional and physical stress, after stressful situations.
Glutathione droppers
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is produced in our body and consists of a combination of three amino acids: glycine, glutamine and cysteine. Essentially, it is a natural substance that blocks the action of free radicals, prevents the development of inflammatory processes and protects every cell in the body.
With age and metabolic disorders, the amount of glutathione produced by the body is noticeably reduced, which leads to weakened immunity and the progression of external signs of aging. Therefore, to preserve youth, detoxify the body and restore the nervous system, droppers with glutathione are used.
An effective way to deliver glutathione to the body is through intravenous administration. In this way, the body absorbs about 99.5% of the antioxidant, and the results from use occur immediately.
What is included in the dropper?
"Esperal", coding and other methods of treating alcoholismAlcoholism is a chronic disease caused by the systematic intake of drinks containing ethyl alcohol (ethanol), characterized by craving for them, leading to mental and physical disorders and disrupting the social relationships of the person suffering from this disease. Like any chronic disease, alcoholism occurs with periods of remission, when the patient is sober, and relapses, when he begins to abuse alcohol again. In order to prevent alcoholic breakdowns and thereby increase the duration of sober intervals, our clinic uses various methods of anti-relapse treatment of alcoholism. The importance of these treatment methods lies in the fact that during remissions the patient not only maintains his physical and mental health, but also gains invaluable personal experience of interacting with the outside world without the help of alcohol. Over the entire period of work, our specialists as narcologists and psychotherapists have accumulated extensive experience and developed a number of proprietary methods for treating alcohol addiction. Each patient of our clinic can count on a competent and professional selection of an anti-alcohol treatment method that is suitable specifically for him. In total, our specialists have about 15 different methods of anti-relapse treatment in their arsenal. What methods of anti-relapse treatment exist? According to the principle of influence, all anti-relapse techniques can be divided as follows: administration of drugs containing disulfiram coding for alcohol using suggestion and hypnosis introduction of drugs containing naltrexone Treatment with drugs containing disulfiram: The drug disulfiram itself has been known for a long time, is produced by various pharmaceutical companies and is part of such drugs , like Esperal, Antabuse, Teturam, Lidevin and others. The action of these drugs is based on disruption of the chemical reaction of the biotransformation of ethyl alcohol in the human body. As you know, alcohol (ethanol) begins to enter the blood within a few minutes after its consumption and the body immediately begins to process it into other chemicals. This process involves the stomach, liver and some tissues of our body that have specific enzymes. The main organ responsible for processing ethanol is the liver, which, with the help of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, is able to quickly process it into acetic acid aldehyde (acetaldehyde). The resulting substance is very toxic to our body - it affects both brain cells and liver cells, as well as many other organs and systems. At the next stage, acetaldehyde is processed into acetic acid, which in itself is no longer toxic at all and is involved in many chemical reactions occurring in the human body, and in turn breaks down into harmless products carbon dioxide and water. Thus, our body protects itself from the toxic effects of both ethanol itself and the much more toxic acetaldehyde. Disulfiram, interfering with this process, blocks the processing of acetaldehyde, which leads to its accumulation in the body with the development of the following serious consequences: a drop in blood pressure up to collapse, angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction, confusion, the development of hallucinations and seizures, cerebral edema and stroke, death associated with a fatal heart rhythm disorder Contraindications to the use of drugs containing disulfiram: alcohol withdrawal syndrome coronary heart disease myocarditis diabetes mellitus acute renal failure acute liver failure pregnancy mental disorders You can undergo treatment of chronic alcoholism with drugs containing disulfiram in our narcological hospital or at the patient’s home . Making an appointment with a doctor or calling a narcologist at home is carried out around the clock by calling (812) 947-48-14. Implantation (filing) of Esperal tablets: Implantation of the drug Esperal in the form of sterile tablets, commonly known as “filing,” is carried out in the muscles of the buttocks, back or abdomen, depending on the requirements of the drug manufacturer. Subsequently, the drug is gradually absorbed with constant maintenance of a certain concentration of disulfiram in the blood. The procedure is carried out with strict adherence to aseptic measures; disposable medical instruments are used. Implantation of the drug "Esperal" is carried out with local anesthesia and does not cause any discomfort. The drug is produced only for drug treatment hospitals. It is preferable to remove postoperative sutures in a hospital, since only a doctor can assess the condition of the skin at the site of Esperal implantation, the absence of infection and inflammation, as well as assess the patient’s mental state in the post-withdrawal period and give qualified recommendations. Advantages of the Esperal binder: the possibility of administering the drug for long periods from 1 to 5 years, no need for daily monitoring of the drug intake, gradual entry into the body Disadvantages: invasiveness (administration with violation of the skin) risk of developing infectious complications with improper care at the injection site there is a small cosmetic defect of the skin at the injection site. Implantation (filing) of the certified drug “Esperal” can be carried out in our hospital “Petersburg Narcologist” or at the patient’s home (all of St. Petersburg, the nearest and remote suburbs). Make an appointment and call a doctor by phone: (812) 676-15-15, etc. The drug "Esperal-gel": The drug "Esperal-gel" is a dispersed system containing disulfiram in gel form for intramuscular administration. The injection is made into the subscapular region, after which infiltration of the underlying tissue occurs with the formation of a disulfiram depot. The duration of action of the drug depends on the degradation time of the carrier on which Esperal is attached. The drug is available only for hospitals. Advantages of treatment with Esperal-gel: ease of administration; possibility of administering the drug for long periods from 1 to 5 years; absence of marks on the skin after administration; Disadvantages: pain (the drug is administered under local anesthesia) Inject a well-proven drug "Esperal-gel" can be administered in our clinic "Petersburg Narcologist" or at the patient's home. Our clinic’s narcologists make house calls to all districts of St. Petersburg, the nearest and remote suburbs. Making an appointment with a doctor or calling a narcologist is carried out around the clock by phone, etc. The drug "Tetlong-250": "Tetlong-250" is a highly purified combined drug disulfiram with tranquilizing and antidepressant activity, used in the treatment of alcohol dependence. A distinctive feature of the “Tetlong-250” procedure is that after injection the drug forms poorly soluble microcrystals that are poorly dissolved by the neutralizing drug, which ensures the effect of irreversibility of the procedure. The concentration of the drug in the blood is maintained for three or six months. The drug "Tetlong-250" is injected intramuscularly into the gluteal muscle. Advantages of treatment with Tetlong-250: ease of administration, accompanying tranquilizing and antidepressant effects, absence of marks on the skin after administration. Disadvantages: irreversibility (although some patients and their relatives evaluate this property exclusively on the positive side). You can undergo alcoholism treatment with Tetlong-250 in our drug treatment hospital or at the patient’s home. Making an appointment with a doctor or calling a narcologist at home is carried out around the clock by calling (812) 306-23-23 and. Tablets "Esperal" 500 mg: Tablets "Esperal" 500 mg are sold in the pharmacy chain with a doctor's prescription. The tablet form of "Esperal" for oral administration is prescribed after consultation with a narcologist according to an individual regimen. The effect of the tablets lasts one day after taking the drug. Advantages of the tablet form "Esperal": availability; ability to quickly stop taking the drug if side effects develop; non-invasiveness (administration does not damage the skin) Disadvantages of tablets "Esperal": difficulty in controlling the intake of the drug; frequent refusal of patients to take the medicine; short period of action of the tablets. Despite the significant disadvantages of oral administration Esperal tablets, this method is considered preferable for some categories of patients with chronic alcoholism. You can undergo a preliminary consultation with a narcologist aimed at identifying indications and contraindications for treatment and get a prescription for Esperal in our clinic. To make an appointment with a doctor, call: (812) 676-15-15, and. Coding using suggestion and hypnosis: Coding for alcoholism is a group of psychotherapeutic methods using suggestion and hypnosis, the goal of which is to form in the patient a stable associative connection between alcohol and negative experiences and a firm and long-term commitment to complete sobriety. The coding mechanism in alcoholism is based on the process of accelerated degradation and destruction of interneuronal synaptic connections in the brain centers responsible for the pathological craving for alcohol and the formation of addiction, and the restoration of such connections in the centers responsible for a positive mood and motivation for a sober lifestyle. To enhance the coding effect, additional effects can be used, such as electromagnetic, photostimulating, acupuncture, enzymatic-medicinal and others. Encoding validity periods range from 1 year to 5 years. Three stages of the coding process: First stage: an anamnesis of the life and illness of an alcohol-dependent person, the degree of alcoholism is compiled, possible contraindications to coding are determined, the level of motivation and the patient’s commitment to sobriety are discussed. Second stage: the patient’s personal characteristics, the causes of alcohol dependence are examined, attention is focused on problems associated with deteriorating health, on the most emotionally significant troubles that interfered with the patient’s social and personal life due to alcohol abuse, and which he would like to eliminate further. The third stage: a special psychotherapeutic effect on the patient, during which the patient experiences an acute subconscious experience of the negative aspects of alcoholism, which provokes a psychological rejection of alcohol and gives a firm and long-term commitment to complete sobriety. The installation lasts for the time that the patient himself has previously determined for himself. What methods are used when coding? One of the most effective methods of psychological influence on a person’s subconscious is “Ericksonian” hypnosis, supplemented by certain highly effective methods of neurolinguistic programming (NLP). Its popularity and effectiveness have been proven during a coding session for alcohol addiction. The specialists of our clinic “Petersburg Narcologist” use several coding methods for alcohol addiction in their work. Our team's original developments are also used. Our clinic’s specialists will always help you decide on the alcohol coding technique. You can make an appointment with a doctor and coding by calling in St. Petersburg, (812) 306-23-23 and. Acupuncture programming: Acupuncture programming is in-depth coding with point-by-point impact of acupuncture needles on biologically active points of the body. Coding takes place with the patient immersed in a trance state, which promotes deep fixation of the code and the development of persistent indifference to alcohol. During the coding process, the therapeutic effect is further enhanced by elements of reflexology. Reflexology also allows you to eliminate various psycho-emotional disorders, such as depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, increased anxiety and excitability of the nervous system, and headaches. Pre-registration for acupuncture programming for alcohol dependence is carried out by phone in St. Petersburg, (812) 306-23-23 and. Enzymatic coding (Afghan): Enzymatic coding for alcoholism is carried out with the subcutaneous injection of a highly purified enzyme into the area of the bridge of the nose, rich in vessels connected to the vessels of the brain. This method of administration avoids inactivation of the sensitive enzyme as it passes through the liver and goes directly to the pituitary region of the brain, where it binds to endorphin receptors and helps reduce the physiological craving for alcohol. When the regime of sobriety is violated and alcohol enters the body, the enzyme changes its isomeric structure and potentiates vascular (strokes) and mental (hallucinations) disorders. To carry out enzymatic (Afghan) coding, you must wait 7 days of absolute sobriety and make an appointment with a doctor in advance by calling: (812) 676-15-15, etc. Preparations containing Naltrexone: Naltrexone is a blocker of mu-opiate receptors in the brain, which are responsible for the feeling of pleasure and pathological craving when drinking alcohol. The introduction of this drug allows you to break the conditioned reflex chain “alcohol-pleasure” and thus completely stop or significantly reduce the duration and number of binges. Naltrexone tablets and capsules for oral administration are sold in pharmacies with a doctor’s prescription and are prescribed after consultation with a narcologist according to an individual regimen. The effect of the medicine lasts one day after taking the drug. Advantages of the tablet form of Naltrexone: availability, ability to quickly stop taking it if side effects develop, non-invasiveness (administration does not damage the skin) Disadvantages: difficulty in controlling the drug intake, frequent refusal of patients to take the medication, short duration of action. A preliminary consultation with a narcologist is carried out in our clinic. Make an appointment with a doctor by phone: (812) 676-15-15, etc. Injection of the drug "Vivitrol": The drug "Vivitrol" is the latest development of American scientists for the anti-relapse treatment of alcoholism at all stages of the disease - both initial and deep in its development, that is, those that were previously recognized as absolutely unpromising in terms of obtaining stable remission ( absolute sobriety). "Vivitrol" is a powder that is diluted immediately before administration of the drug. The injection is made with a solution in the form of a cream-colored emulsion that contains naltrexone. The drug is administered only by a narcologist intramuscularly into the gluteal muscle and immediately enters the bloodstream. A special form of the drug - microspheres - ensures the maintenance of a stable concentration of the active substance in the patient’s body for a month. The very introduction of the drug "Vivitrol" is a "medicinal" part of the "Point of Sobriety" program - a coherent system based on the interaction of pathogenetic therapy (i.e. aimed at the direct mechanisms of addiction) with high-quality psychotherapeutic support aimed at teaching the patient skills ensuring and maintaining sobriety. Advantages of the drug "Vivitrol": ease of administration low toxicity irreversibility no marks on the skin after administration Disadvantages: short duration of action (1 month) "Vivitrol" does not cause mental and physical dependence; the drug has all the necessary quality certificates and is included in the register of medicines in Russia. Treatment is carried out by specialists who have been trained at the drug manufacturer’s premises. You can undergo a preliminary consultation with a narcologist and treatment with Vivitrol in our narcological hospital. Pre-registration for an appointment with a doctor can be made by calling: (812) 676-15-15, etc. Conclusion: And, in conclusion, I would like to note that all anti-relapse procedures for alcoholism do not cancel the patient’s psychotherapeutic support, but make it extremely necessary. With experienced specialists from the Petersburg Narcologist network of clinics, you can undergo anti-alcohol treatment using one of the 15 most suitable methods for the patient and receive qualified psychotherapeutic post-treatment support. If you find it difficult to choose a treatment method, our clinic specialists will always help you at a mandatory preliminary consultation.

Anti-alcohol treatment can be performed in our clinic: St. Petersburg, st. Big Pushkarskaya, house 20 Some of the anti-alcohol methods for the treatment of dependence can be carried out at home from the patient after withdrawal from binge, calling our narcologist on multi-channel phones in St. Petersburg, and (812) 947-48-14. “Petersburg narcologist” is a sober view of life!

There are several features of this procedure, which include certain requirements for the qualifications and skills of the person who places the IV:
- It is very important before starting any manipulations to check the device for the presence of air bubbles in the liquid; before directly introducing the liquid, they must be removed.
- The application site and a large area of skin around it should be treated with an alcohol solution that will disinfect it.
- After which, in order not to injure the arm during the procedure, it must be tied with a tourniquet; it is applied just above the needle insertion site. In order for the veins or vessel to protrude under the skin as much as possible, it is necessary for the patient to clench and unclench his fist forcefully several times. This will also reduce the risk of damaging adjacent tissue when the needle is inserted.
- After installing the IV, you need to check for a small amount of blood that appears in the plastic tube. This ensures that the needle is positioned correctly.
