Stop the vomiting. Rehydrate in an hour.
Doctor-led IV rehydration for food poisoning and gastroenteritis — delivered to your home or hotel anywhere in Dubai. Fluids, anti-nausea, electrolytes and a real medical assessment. From AED 599, usually within 60 minutes.
Symptoms that need more than sips of water.
Mild food poisoning resolves with rest and oral rehydration. The cases that benefit from IV are the ones where the gut has stopped cooperating — repeated vomiting, severe diarrhoea, classic dehydration signs.
- Repeated vomiting that won't stop with sips of water
- Watery diarrhoea more than 4–5 times in a few hours
- Cramping, weakness, dizziness when standing up
- Dark urine, dry mouth, headache — classic dehydration
- Low-grade fever, chills, body aches
- Symptoms started 1–48 hours after a meal (often shellfish, eggs, dairy, buffet food)
A proper clinical rehydration — not a wellness drip.
1L Normal Saline or Hartmann's
Restores intravascular volume in 30–45 minutes — far faster than oral rehydration when you can't keep fluids down.
Anti-emetic (Ondansetron or Metoclopramide)
Stops the vomiting reflex within 10–20 minutes so the rest of the treatment, and recovery, can actually happen.
Anti-spasmodic (Hyoscine) if needed
Eases the cramping and gut spasm typical of bacterial gastroenteritis.
B-Complex + Vitamin C
Replaces water-soluble vitamins lost through vomiting and diarrhoea; supports energy recovery.
Electrolytes (Mg, K) as indicated
Replaces what you've lost. Magnesium and potassium drop fast with severe diarrhoea.
Doctor review + safety-net advice
We check for red flags (blood, severe pain, fever >39°C, signs of sepsis) and escalate to ER if needed.

Common questions about IV for food poisoning.
How fast does an IV drip help with food poisoning?
Most people feel meaningfully better within the first 30–45 minutes of the drip — the anti-nausea takes effect in 10–20 minutes and the fluids restore volume quickly. Full recovery usually takes 24–48 hours, but the worst phase ends with the drip.
Can you come to my home or hotel for food poisoning?
Yes — our doctor-led nurse team reaches most addresses in Dubai within 60 minutes. We visit hotels, villas and apartments across Downtown, Marina, Palm, JVC, Business Bay, Mirdif, Hills and Arabian Ranches. Book by WhatsApp +971 52 320 1543 for the fastest slot.
How much does an IV drip for food poisoning cost in Dubai?
From AED 599 — this includes the doctor consultation, nurse home visit, 1L IV fluids, anti-nausea medication, B-complex, electrolytes, all supplies and sharps disposal. No call-out fee. Insurance reimbursement is often possible with our coded invoice.
When is food poisoning a medical emergency?
Call 998 or go to A&E now if you have: blood in vomit or stool, severe abdominal pain, fever above 39°C, confusion, fainting, no urine for 8+ hours, or symptoms in a pregnant woman, infant or elderly relative. Otherwise our doctor can assess at home.
Do you treat food poisoning in children?
Yes — our paediatric team treats dehydration from gastroenteritis in children from age 1. For infants under 1 year, severe cases, or any child looking lethargic, we recommend immediate A&E assessment first.
Why an IV drip instead of oral rehydration?
Oral rehydration (ORS) is excellent if you can keep it down. When vomiting is repeated, the gut isn't absorbing, or you're already dehydrated, IV is faster and more reliable — it bypasses the gut entirely and delivers controlled volumes within an hour.
Is this safe? Who delivers the drip?
Every drip is prescribed by a DHA-licensed doctor and administered by a registered nurse who stays for the full infusion and observation period. We use sterile single-use equipment and pharmacy-prepared medications — no van mixing, no shortcuts.
