What is the Migraine IV?
The Migraine IV is a one liter drip for bad headaches. It has fluids, electrolytes, magnesium, and B complex. It also has anti inflammatory pain medicine and anti nausea medicine. An antihistamine can be added on request. It goes straight into your blood, so you do not have to keep pills down. It takes about 45 to 60 minutes. It costs $265 mobile or $235 at the studio.

What is a “migraine cocktail”?
In the ER, a migraine cocktail is IV fluids plus a few medicines. Usually an anti nausea medicine, an anti inflammatory, and often an antihistamine or magnesium. It has been used for years. Our Migraine IV is built on the same idea. The difference is where you get it. You get ours in your own bed.
Signs you need a Migraine IV
Pick any two and this is your drip.
- Pounding or throbbing pain on one side or both.
- Light and sound make it worse.
- You feel sick to your stomach.
- You cannot keep pills down.
- Your neck and shoulders are tight.
- You are dry and have not had much water.
- You spent the day in the sun or the heat.
- The headache came with your period.
- You have a big day tomorrow and need it gone.
Migraine
The big one. Throbbing pain, often on one side. Light hurts. Sound hurts. Your stomach turns. It can last hours or days. This bag hits all three parts: the pain, the nausea, and the dry feeling.
Tension headache
A tight band around your head. Sore neck and shoulders. The magnesium and the pain medicine in this bag help the muscles let go.
Dehydration and heat headache
A dull ache that gets worse when you stand. Often after a hike, a round of golf, or a pool day. The fluids alone help most of these. If it is your only symptom, the Hydrate IV may be enough.
Hangover headache
Headache, nausea, and no energy after a big night. That is a different bag. See the Hangover IV. It has the same pain and nausea medicine, plus extra vitamins for the morning after.
PMS and period headaches and cramps
Many women get a headache right before or during their period. Some get full migraines. Cramps, bloating, and low energy come with it. This bag helps with all of it. The fluids help the bloat. The magnesium helps the cramps and the tight muscles. The pain medicine helps the cramps and the headache. The anti nausea medicine settles your stomach. Book it the day your period starts.
How fast does it work?
Most people feel the anti nausea medicine first, in about 15 minutes. Then the pain medicine takes the edge off, often within 30 minutes. The fluids and magnesium do their work over the hour. By the end of the bag, most people feel a lot better.
Here is why it beats pills. Pills have to go through your stomach. With a migraine, your stomach slows down. Pills sit there. Or they come back up. An IV puts the medicine right into your blood. It works in minutes, not an hour.
One honest note. Not every migraine goes away in an hour. Some are stubborn. But most people leave the bag with less pain and no nausea.

When to go to the ER instead
Most headaches are safe to handle at home. A few are not. Go to the ER or call 911 right away for any of these.
- It is the worst headache of your life, and it came on in seconds.
- You have a headache with a fever and a stiff neck.
- You have weakness, numbness, or slurred speech.
- You are confused, or you cannot see right.
- The headache came after a hit to the head or a fall.
- You are pregnant and have a headache with swelling or high blood pressure.
- This headache feels very different from your usual ones.
These can be signs of a stroke, bleeding, or an infection. Minutes matter. Do not wait for us.
Safety first
Is the Migraine IV safe?
Yes, when a nurse gives it and a provider signs off. That is how we do it every time.
- A registered nurse gives every IV.
- Our nurse practitioner reviews every protocol.
- Sterile, single use supplies.
- We check your vitals before we start.
- We ask about your health and your medicines first.
Who should skip it or ask first: people with heart, kidney, or liver disease. People with stomach ulcers, bleeding problems, or on blood thinners. We may leave out the pain medicine. Anyone who is pregnant should call their OB first.
The antihistamine makes you drowsy. If you add it, do not drive after. Plan to sleep.
This is a wellness service. We do not treat strokes, head injuries, or infections. For the warning signs above, call 911.

Questions, answered
Still wondering? Text us or call (480) 674-8268.
How fast can you get here?
Same day, most days. Text us if talking hurts.
Is this the same as the migraine cocktail from the ER?
It is built on the same idea. Fluids, anti nausea medicine, an anti inflammatory, magnesium, and an antihistamine if you want it. Ours comes to your dark bedroom instead.
Will it get rid of my migraine?
Most people feel a lot better by the end of the bag. The nausea goes first, then the pain eases. Some stubborn migraines take longer. It does not stop future migraines.
Does it work for regular headaches too?
Yes. Tension, dehydration, heat, and sinus headaches. The fluids and pain medicine help all of them.
Can I get it for period cramps and PMS?
Yes. Many women book it for period headaches, cramps, and bloating. The magnesium and the pain medicine help the cramps. The fluids help the bloat.
Can I drive after?
Yes, unless you add the antihistamine. That one makes you drowsy. If you add it, have someone drive you, or book mobile and sleep after.
Can I take my migraine medicine too?
Tell our nurse practitioner what you take and when you took it last. Some medicines do not mix. They will tell you what is safe.
How often can I get one?
Ask our nurse practitioner. The pain medicine is not meant for daily use. Get migraines often? See a doctor about a long term plan.
Should I go to the ER instead?
Yes, if it is the worst headache of your life. Same for a fever with a stiff neck, weakness, slurred speech, or a head injury. Those need the ER, not us.
Does insurance pay for it?
No. Most HSA and FSA cards work. We take all major cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Do I need a doctor’s note?
No. You need a short video call with a nurse practitioner before your first IV. It takes about five minutes. It is good for one year.
