Supportive IV Therapy During Chemotherapy

Supportive IV therapies are sometimes requested by people undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer. At MyHydrate, this service is offered in a careful, measured way, with a focus on safety, informed consent, and coordination with the person's oncology team.

Complementary IV therapies are not a treatment for cancer and do not replace standard, evidence-based oncology care.

Why Some People Consider Supportive IV Therapies

People undergoing cancer treatment often experience significant physical and emotional demands related to their illness and its treatment. During this time, some people seek additional supportive care alongside standard cancer treatment, particularly where symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, or treatment-related side effects are affecting their overall wellbeing.

While research shows that specific IV infusions may decrease symptom burden and improve quality of life for some people, the current evidence base is limited and mixed.

How We Provide This Service

Supportive IV therapies are only provided after:

• careful clinical screening and assessment
• detailed discussion of potential benefits, risks, and alternatives
• robust informed consent

Where a person is undergoing active cancer treatment, we always seek to collaborate with their specialist and oncology team to ensure safety and continuity of care.
