Vitamin IV in Austin: The Myers Cocktail
Not every drip needs a big night behind it. The Myers is for regular weeks, when you'd rather have vitamins brought to the couch after work.
Your first drip starts with a $26.99 video visit. By booking, you agree to our Service Terms.
Four Nutrients, One Bag of Fluids
Here's what goes in. The notes on what each nutrient does come from MedlinePlus, the National Library of Medicine's health site.
- Vitamin B12. It helps your body form red blood cells and maintain the nervous system.
- B complex. A mix of B vitamins that rides in the same bag.
- Vitamin C. One of many antioxidants. Your body can't make it or store it, so it has to come from what you eat.
- Magnesium. A mineral your body needs for more than 300 biochemical reactions, including normal nerve and muscle function.
- IV fluids. The base that carries the rest.
There's no medication in the Myers. If you want an anti-nausea medication and a pain reliever, look at the Hangover Reset.
For Regular Austin Weeks
- A long week at the office. Whether you work in a downtown tower or up at the Domain, a nurse can meet you at home that evening. We're open until 10 PM.
- SXSW week. Days of sessions downtown and nights of showcases. Book a drip at your hotel before the first session or after the last show. Our events page covers the rest of the year.
- The first 100-degree week. Summer shows up, and the commute turns sweaty. Our Austin heat guide covers how to handle it.
- Home from a work trip. Flew back into AUS after a week of hotel coffee and airport food? Book one for the evening you land.
- A quiet Sunday. No hangover and nothing wrong. You'd just like a drip on your own couch.
Vitamins on Your Schedule
Before your first drip, a licensed provider approves it on a $26.99 video visit, and then a registered nurse comes to you. See how a visit works.
The IV goes in one arm, which leaves the other one free. You can answer email or watch a show while the bag runs.
Offices work too, along with homes, hotels and short-term rentals.
$250 at Your Door
The Myers Cocktail costs $250 per person. Your nurse, the supplies and getting to you anywhere within 15 miles of downtown Austin are part of that price.
Extras only come up when they apply: $50 for a start after 10 PM and $75 to set up a group of five or more drips at one address. The fee list has the details.
No insurance billing here. Every drip is self-pay.

Myers Cocktail Questions
How is the Myers Cocktail different from the Baseline?
The Baseline is IV fluids with electrolytes and nothing else. The Myers adds B12, B complex, vitamin C and magnesium, for $65 more.
Is there any medication in the Myers Cocktail?
No. It's vitamins and magnesium in IV fluids. For an anti-nausea medication and an NSAID pain reliever, book the Hangover Reset instead.
Can a nurse bring it to my office?
Yes. An office works the same way a home or hotel room does. If coworkers want drips too, five or more at one address count as a group, and group bookings explains how that works.
Should I get a Myers when I'm sick?
See a doctor first. A Myers is fluids, vitamins and magnesium, and it isn't a treatment for illness. If you have chest pain, trouble breathing or you feel faint, that's a 911 call.
Can I work while the drip runs?
Usually, yes. The IV takes one arm, so you can still take calls or read with the other hand.
