What is a hangover infusion?
A hangover drip typically combines fluids with electrolytes and specific vitamins. Common components include:
- IV fluids, usually 0.9% normal saline or a dextrose solution
- Electrolytes
- B-complex vitamins, especially B1 (thiamine)
- Vitamin C
Depending on your symptoms, it may also include an anti-sickness medication (antiemetic) for nausea, magnesium, or a carefully chosen painkiller such as paracetamol. NSAIDs are used cautiously because they can irritate the stomach.
Relief of headache
Nausea and fatigue
Correction of electrolyte imbalance
Faster recovery compared with oral intake
In some cases
It is only fair to note that the evidence is limited: for a straightforward, uncomplicated hangover, IV therapy has not been clearly shown to be significantly better than good oral hydration and rest.
Who may need this drip?
Dizziness, weakness or fatigue related to alcohol
Also
- Patients who want symptomatic relief following appropriate clinical assessment
Before your infusion
Blood tests before your infusion
In most mild cases, no blood tests are required. If symptoms are severe or the picture is unclear, we may check:
- Electrolytes: sodium and potassium
- Kidney function: creatinine and urea
- Blood glucose: alcohol can cause low blood sugar
- Liver function tests (LFTs): where alcohol use is frequent
In more complicated cases, a blood alcohol level or a CBC (if infection or bleeding is suspected) may be appropriate.

Book online →When it may be considered
A hangover infusion may help if you have:
- Moderate dehydration
- Persistent vomiting
- An inability to keep fluids down
- Significant headache, dizziness or weakness, or a need for rapid relief when you simply cannot function
Risks and considerations
Points to be aware of include:
- Overhydration
- The risk of masking a more serious condition, such as alcohol poisoning, gastritis or pancreatitis
- Medication risks: for example, NSAIDs irritating the stomach
Because of that second point, a brief medical assessment is part of the treatment, not an optional extra.
Our approach at Dr. Torun's Clinic
We check that your symptoms are consistent with a hangover, rule out anything more concerning, and then tailor a hangover recovery drip to how you actually feel. Treatment is delivered under medical supervision with monitoring throughout.

Hangover FAQs.
What is in a hangover IV drip?
A hangover infusion typically combines IV fluids (normal saline or a dextrose solution) with electrolytes, B-complex vitamins, especially B1 (thiamine), and vitamin C. Depending on your symptoms it may also include anti-sickness medication, magnesium, or a carefully chosen painkiller.
Does a hangover drip actually work?
Many people feel better faster, mainly thanks to rapid rehydration and symptom relief. In honesty, the evidence is limited: for a straightforward, uncomplicated hangover, IV therapy has not been clearly shown to beat good oral hydration and rest. We will always be upfront about that.
How quickly will I feel better?
Most people notice relief of headache, nausea and fatigue during or shortly after the infusion, as fluids and electrolytes are restored. Recovery times vary depending on how dehydrated you are and how much you drank.
Is a hangover infusion safe?
It is safe when delivered under medical supervision after a brief assessment. That assessment matters, because some symptoms that resemble a hangover, such as those of alcohol poisoning, gastritis or pancreatitis, need different care. We check before we treat.
Do I need blood tests before a hangover drip?
For most mild cases, no. If symptoms are severe or unclear we may check electrolytes, kidney function, blood glucose and, where alcohol use is frequent, liver function. This helps us rule out anything more serious.
