IV drips & vitamin therapy, assessed properly first
At My Private Clinic, IV drips and vitamin injections are treated as what they actually are: medical treatments that deserve a proper clinical assessment first.
IV drips, or vitamin infusions, are given when there is a clinical reason — such as a confirmed deficiency, difficulty absorbing nutrients from food, extreme fatigue and tiredness, or dehydration requiring medical care.
Dr Faizal takes the time to understand your symptoms, medical history, medications, diet and lifestyle, and why you're considering IV therapy or a vitamin injection. Where it's helpful, he may recommend a blood test first, so that you receive an evidence-based treatment. Whether you visit the clinic or need a home visit, Dr Faizal consults and administers the drips and injections himself.

Benefits of IV drips & vitamin infusions given by a GP
Having Dr Faizal, an experienced GP, assess and administer your treatment brings real advantages over a drip bar. IV fluids are drugs — so a proper clinical assessment comes first. Some injections, such as B12 and vitamin D, are prescription-only medicines that a GP can prescribe safely.
He recommends only what's clinically appropriate, can arrange your blood tests, explains the results, stays with you throughout in case of any reaction, and offers continuity and referral where needed. Clinical care, not commercial. Intravenous fluid therapy follows NICE guidance.

What our patients say
"I'd been putting off a conversation about my blood pressure for months. Dr Secretary gave me 30 minutes and went through everything properly. I left with my prescription and a referral already sorted."
"My son had a high temperature on a Saturday morning. We were seen the same day. The doctor was calm, thorough, and explained everything clearly. At £49, absolutely worth it for the peace of mind alone."
"The doctor didn't make me feel stupid for leaving things. He was straightforward, ran some bloods, and when I needed referring on, the letter was ready before I left the room. No extra charge."
FAQs about IV drips & vitamin injections
What is IV vitamin therapy?
IV vitamin therapy delivers fluids, vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a vein. At My Private Clinic, Dr Faizal will first assess whether it's clinically appropriate for you.
Who might benefit from an IV drip or vitamin therapy?
IV therapy may be suitable for people with dehydration, confirmed vitamin deficiencies, poor nutrient absorption, or certain medical conditions. A GP consultation helps determine the right treatment for your needs.
Can you get an IV drip at home in the UK?
Yes. Dr Faizal offers IV drips and vitamin therapy at home across Fulwood and Central Preston. He personally assesses, prescribes and administers your treatment.
How soon will I feel the effects of IV hydration?
Some people notice an improvement within a few hours, while others may take a day or two. The timing depends on the reason for treatment and your overall health.
What is a vitamin injection for?
Vitamin injections are used to treat or prevent certain vitamin deficiencies when clinically appropriate. They may also be considered if your body cannot absorb vitamins well from food or tablets.
What is vitamin B12 therapy?
Low vitamin B12 levels can lead to tiredness, weakness, numbness or tingling. Where a deficiency is confirmed and treatment is clinically appropriate, vitamin B12 may be given by injection to replenish your levels.
Are vitamin injections good for you?
Vitamin injections may be appropriate if you have a confirmed deficiency or a medical reason to need them. Dr Faizal will assess your symptoms and may recommend blood tests before any treatment.
Which is the best vitamin injection?
There isn't one best vitamin injection. The GP prescribes what is appropriate for you after assessing your symptoms, medical history and any confirmed deficiencies.
Are vitamin injections better than tablets?
Not always. Injections may be more suitable for people with certain deficiencies or conditions that affect how well nutrients are absorbed.
Do I need vitamin B12 injections?
Vitamin B12 injections are usually considered when blood tests confirm a low vitamin B12 level. A GP consultation can help determine whether they are right for you.
Should I get an IV drip for norovirus?
Most people with norovirus recover by resting and drinking plenty of fluids. If you develop severe dehydration or cannot keep fluids down, seek medical advice so a GP can assess whether IV fluids are appropriate.
How much does IV vitamin therapy cost?
The cost depends on the type of IV drip recommended, starting from £119. Vitamin injections are quoted individually after your assessment, as they are prescription-only and depend on what is clinically appropriate. For at-home treatment, call for a personalised quote.
