A pre-party IV drip in Medellín loads you with the hydration, electrolytes, and B-vitamins your body burns through in one night on Provenza — so you outlast the night instead of crashing at 1am.
Medellín is 1,495 m (4,905 ft) above sea level. At that altitude your body holds less oxygen, dehydrates faster, and metabolises alcohol noticeably slower than it does at home in Miami, Dallas, or New York. By the time you've climbed the stairs at Parque Lleras and ordered your first aguardiente shot, you're already a step behind.
Drinking a Gatorade in the hotel lobby helps for about 20 minutes — your gut absorbs maybe 40% of what you sip, and only after digestion. A pre-party IV drip puts a full litre of sterile saline, electrolytes, and vitamins directly into your bloodstream in 45 minutes, at 100% absorption. You start the night already hydrated, with full B-vitamin reserves loaded — the exact reserves your liver burns through processing alcohol.
Translation: you dance longer, drink smarter, and don't wake up wishing you were dead.
Our standard pre-party formula is built on a 1-litre bag of 0.9% sterile saline (the hydration backbone), then loaded with a full B-complex (B1, B6, B12 for energy and liver support), high-dose vitamin C (immune + antioxidant), magnesium (muscle relaxation and a calm clarity), and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride).
Optional add-ons for the executive treatment: glutathione (master antioxidant — better skin, less alcohol flush), extra B12 (clean energy that lasts 6–8 hours), NAD+ (cellular energy — popular before all-night bachelor parties), and amino acid blends (recovery before you even need it).
What's NOT in it: no stimulants, no caffeine, nothing that interacts with alcohol. It's clean fuel — the same drips elite athletes use before a competition.
The sweet spot is 60–90 minutes before you walk out the door. That gives the nurse 45 minutes to run the bag, plus 15–30 minutes for you to shower, get dressed, and feel the kick. Most clients report a smooth, hydrated, slightly energised feeling by the time their Uber pulls up.
Heading to Provenza for dinner at 8pm? Book a 6pm drip. Pre-gaming at the rooftop in Manila before a 10pm reservation? Book at 7:30. Hitting Parque Lleras after midnight? Book a 10pm slot and we'll send a nurse to your Airbnb.
Same-day bookings are normal — we typically arrive 30–60 minutes after you confirm on WhatsApp.
Pre-party is preventive. Hangover is rescue. The pre-party formula is lighter on anti-nausea meds (you don't need them yet) and heavier on energy + electrolytes. The hangover formula adds Zofran (anti-nausea) and often Toradol (headache relief) because by that point you're already in damage-control mode.
Smart move: book both. A pre-party drip the evening you arrive, and a standing hangover drip for noon the next day. Many bachelor parties and birthday groups in El Poblado book the pair as a package — it's the difference between a great trip and one wasted day in bed.
We run group drip sessions almost every weekend in El Poblado, Provenza, Manila, and Llanograde villas. Setup is identical to a single drip — our nurses bring extra IV stands, bags, and supplies, and the whole group is hooked up within 15 minutes of arrival.
Group pricing kicks in at 4 people. Bachelor parties of 6–10 typically book the pre-party + hangover combo for the full crew. We handle Venmo / Zelle / Stripe splits on request — one person pays, we send individual receipts.
Book 24 hours ahead for groups of 4+ so we can assign enough nurses. Same-day group bookings are possible but availability is tighter on Friday and Saturday nights.
