YOUR SAFETY FIRST

SAFETY & ELIGIBILITY

APEX Recovery IV takes your safety seriously. Every session includes a medical screening by a licensed provider. Certain conditions require emergency care, not IV hydration.

RED FLAG CONDITIONS

If you are experiencing any of the following, do not book an APEX session. Seek emergency medical care immediately.

  • Loss of consciousness at any point today
  • Suspected concussion or worsening headache after head impact
  • Unequal pupils or visual disturbances after head trauma
  • Neck pain or limited neck range of motion after impact
  • Repeated vomiting that will not stop
  • Confusion, disorientation, or altered mental status
  • Seizure activity or history of seizure today
  • Severe trauma or suspected bone fracture
  • Abdominal pain with guarding or rigidity
  • Difficulty breathing or chest pain
  • Active uncontrolled bleeding
  • Inability to walk or bear weight
  • Dark brown or cola-colored urine (possible rhabdomyolysis)
  • Minimal or no urine output despite fluid intake
  • Signs of heat stroke (hot dry skin, core temperature above 104°F)
  • Severe dehydration with altered consciousness

If you or someone near you is experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

ANTI-DOPING & GOVERNED ATHLETES

Under WADA, USADA, UFC Anti-Doping, and most athletic governing bodies, IV infusions exceeding 100 mL within a 12-hour period are prohibited without a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).

  • If you are subject to WADA, USADA, UFC Anti-Doping, NCAA, Olympic, professional boxing, or any other governing-body rules, you must disclose this during intake.
  • If you have received any IV fluid exceeding 100 mL in the preceding 12 hours, inform your provider before treatment.
  • APEX will document volumes and timing for your records. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with your governing body.

APEX does not provide TUE documentation. Consult your sanctioning body for TUE applications.

KETOROLAC (TORADOL) POLICY

Ketorolac is a powerful NSAID available only in select tiers (Recovery+ and Apex Elite). It is never a routine drip ingredient — it requires a separate provider assessment for acute pain.

  • Never given with suspected concussion — may mask neurological deterioration
  • Never given with active or suspected bleeding — inhibits platelet function
  • Not for dehydrated patients — nephrotoxic risk is elevated
  • Boxed warnings: GI bleeding, cardiovascular events, renal impairment

Ketorolac administration requires documented provider assessment of bleeding risk, renal function, hydration status, and neurological status. It is a medical decision, not a menu selection.

MEDICAL SCREENING

Every APEX session begins with a medical screening. Our booking system includes a comprehensive health questionnaire reviewed by a licensed provider. If any red flag condition is detected during the screening, your booking will be paused and you will be directed to seek appropriate medical care.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • • A licensed medical provider will review your health questionnaire before your session
  • • Vital signs will be checked before IV placement
  • • The provider will determine the appropriate fluid type, volume, and infusion rate
  • • Any add-in medications or vitamins are provider-directed based on clinical assessment
  • • You will be monitored throughout your session
  • • Post-session vitals and evaluation before discharge

OUR APPROACH

APEX stocks only adjuncts with plausible clinical evidence. We deliberately do not carry NAD+, IV zinc, selenium, amino acid cocktails, or calcium gluconate because the evidence does not support their use in this setting.

Our philosophy: fluids first, symptom-directed medication second, vitamins only when there is a plausible indication. We will never upsell you something your body does not need.

Final treatment eligibility, fluid selection, volume, additives, infusion rate, and treatment plan are determined by the licensed medical provider. APEX Recovery IV services are not a substitute for emergency medical care, primary care, or specialist treatment. Individual results vary. IV hydration is a medical procedure with inherent risks including but not limited to bruising, infiltration, infection, and allergic reaction.
