Our Flo
Adding IV Hydration to a healthy regimen will help to counteract the dehydration effects and the inability to absorb vitamins sometimes caused by certain prescription medications.
Oral supplements and drinking water can only do so much when faced with the side effects and issues caused by diuretics and other meds. Having Vida-Flo infuse just one 1000 mL lactated ringer provides the equivalent of drinking 2.5 gallons of water with electrolytes. Additionally, adding additional vitamins your Hydrocare Provider recommends will help supplement and replace any nutrients your body may have an inability to absorb.
Vida-Flo does not cure your problem, but it goes a long way in defeating the debilitating dehydration and vitamin deficiencies that can be caused by some prescription medications.
