The first IV drip was invented in the 1830s using a pig’s bladder. Thankfully, we have upgraded since then! At Apex Urgent Care Clinic, our modern IV hydration therapy in Houston is quick, comfortable, and custom-made to your body needs – whether battling a brutal hangover, prepping for a big game, or feeling tired.

Why Would I Need an IV Instead of Drinking Water?

When you are dehydrated or nutrient-depleted, chugging water doesn’t work. IV fluids deliver hydration, vitamins, and medications directly into your bloodstream, allowing for faster absorption and quicker relief. Think of it like hitting the “refresh” button on your system.
