Safety & Standards of IV Vitamin Therapy: Is IV Therapy Safe?

 

Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities. All intravenous (IV) nutrient therapies are administered by a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with advanced certification in IV therapy and prescribing authority through the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO). Our clinic has also undergone a rigorous inspection process to receive approval from CONO as a designated IV Infusion Therapy facility.

 

Before beginning treatment, a detailed health assessment and review of recent lab work are completed to ensure IV therapy is both safe and appropriate for your needs. Each formulation is tailored to your health goals, nutrient requirements, and clinical considerations such as kidney function, medications, and G6PD enzyme status when relevant.

 

We use only pharmaceutical-grade nutrients and sterile, single-use medical supplies. Treatments are prepared and delivered according to Health Canada and CONO safety standards, with continuous monitoring throughout your session to ensure your well-being

 

Our Safety Measures

 

• Comprehensive medical assessment and informed consent prior to treatment

• Adherence to aseptic technique and infection-control standards

• Individualized dosing based on your unique health profile

• Emergency-readiness protocols and trained clinical staff on site

• Ongoing monitoring during and after each infusion

• Full compliance with College of Naturopaths of Ontario IV therapy guidelines

• In-office administration only (no home visits or mobile therapy)

 

What to Expect

 

IV vitamin therapy is generally well-tolerated. Mild effects such as slight light-headedness, a cooling sensation, or minor bruising at the insertion site may occur but typically resolve quickly. Serious adverse reactions are rare when therapy is administered by a trained and regulated practitioner.

I'm Interested!  How Do I Get Started with IV Vitamin Therapy?

​

1. Pre-IV Bloodwork. In order to keep you safe and adhere to the Ontario Naturopathic regulations, routine bloodwork is required (within 12 months) before starting IV Therapy which includes CBC, Creatinine, eGFR (and G6PD if applicable), You may bring bloodwork previously performed by your family doctor or Dr. Misa can order it for you from Lifelabs. The cost of bloodwork may be covered under your extended health benefits.

2. Book an Initial IV Therapy Visit with Dr. Misa.  She will review your health goals, perform a physical exam, and discuss which IV formula would be suitable for you. You will receive an IV treatment during the initial visit if your blood work is within normal levels. The appointment takes approximately 60-90 min. during which you can sit back and relax, read a book, sort your photo album, catch up on your favourite podcast, or take a nap! 

3. Referrals. If you are a registered health care practitioner and would like to make a referral for your patient to receive IV Therapy, please fill out this form and fax it to our office at (905) 773-5847.
