IV Drip at Home

A trained nurse from Sehet.pk's verified network administers the IV drip at your home, following the same safety and hygiene standards used in a hospital setting.

In most cases yes, a prescription or doctor's advice specifying the fluid/medication is needed. If you don't have one, you can also book a doctor checkup at home first and have the nurse follow up the same day.

It's commonly used for dehydration, food poisoning, vomiting/diarrhea, fatigue, vitamin or fluid replacement, and as a follow up to hospital treatment when ongoing IV fluids are needed at home.

Yes, when administered by a trained nurse using sterile, single-use equipment, it follows the same procedure as a hospital IV setup. The nurse also monitors the patient for the duration of the drip.

This depends on the plan you choose on sehet.pk. The basic plans — Once a Day (PKR 1,500), Twice a Day (PKR 1,350 per visit), and Thrice a Day (PKR 1,250 per visit) — cover the nurse inserting the drip and guiding you through the process, after which the nurse stays for about 15 minutes before leaving; the drip itself continues to run and doesn't require the nurse to sit through the whole thing. If you'd rather have the nurse stay with the patient for the full duration of the drip, choose the "Drip Application up to 60 Mins" plan (PKR 2,500 per visit) instead — this applies per visit, so for a patient needing multiple doses a day, each visit on this plan is charged at PKR 2,500. A separate Vaccine Infusion plan (PKR 1,500) is also available. You can see and select all of these directly on the website.

Same-day service is generally available in Karachi. The best way is to book directly on the website, where a representative confirms the exact time within an hour; if you're unable to book online, you can call/WhatsApp 0318-2800021 instead.

Yes, if the patient doesn't already have a cannula in place, the nurse can insert one (IV cannulation) and then run the drip in the same visit.

Have the doctor's prescription (if available), a clear idea of the patient's allergies or reactions to any medication, and a clean, accessible space such as a bed or chair for the patient to sit or lie down during the drip.
