How Aveum Keeps Treatment Safe

Three things sit behind every Aveum Wellness appointment: a Registered Nurse assesses you before treatment, a licensed Medical Director supervises the care, and every medication or compounded therapy is sourced from a licensed U.S. pharmacy. None of the three is a formality, and each one exists to catch a different kind of problem.

A nurse assesses you before anything begins

Every client receives a comprehensive health assessment by a Registered Nurse before treatment. Your nurse reviews your health history, current medications and allergies, answers your questions, and confirms it is safe to proceed.

This is the check that catches the individual problem — the condition, the medication interaction or the allergy that makes a particular infusion unsuitable for you specifically. Certain heart, kidney and blood pressure conditions, pregnancy, and some medications can all make intravenous fluid or a specific ingredient inappropriate.

You are also monitored throughout the appointment rather than left with a line in. Most infusions run 45 to 75 minutes; intramuscular injections take 10 to 15.

A licensed Medical Director supervises the care

All care is provided under the supervision of a licensed Medical Director. The nurse assessment covers you as an individual; medical oversight covers the practice as a whole — what is offered, on what terms, and under whose license.

This is the difference between a clinical service and a retail one. It is worth asking any provider who supervises their care, and being unsatisfied with a vague answer.

Medications come from licensed U.S. pharmacies

Medications and compounded therapies are sourced exclusively from licensed U.S. pharmacies.

Compounded preparations are made to order rather than manufactured in sealed batches, so where they come from matters more, not less. Licensed pharmacies are subject to inspection and to standards governing sterility and labelling. That is the check on what is actually in the bag.

The Good Faith Exam is part of the same chain

Before a first appointment, every new client completes a one-time Good Faith Exam through Qualiphy. It is a short online telehealth appointment covering your medical history, current medications, allergies and a brief health questionnaire.

It carries a one-time $30 fee, runs 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM seven days a week, and an approved exam remains valid for one year across all eligible Aveum Wellness services.

It exists so that the decision to treat is made by a clinician who has reviewed your history, rather than by a booking form.

What these standards do not claim

Good process is not the same as a good outcome, and it is worth being precise about the difference.

These services are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Results may vary. IV therapy is not a substitute for medical care — if you are unwell, speak with your physician.

Possible effects include discomfort, bruising or irritation at the infusion site, and less commonly flushing, lightheadedness or nausea. Tell your nurse about all medical conditions, medications, supplements and allergies before treatment.

Common questions

Do I need a Good Faith Exam before every appointment?
No. It is a one-time exam, and once approved it remains valid for one year across all eligible Aveum Wellness services. Your Registered Nurse still assesses you before each individual treatment.
Can I be turned down for treatment?
Yes, and that is the point of the assessment. If your nurse judges that an infusion is not appropriate given your history, medications or how you are on the day, it will not go ahead.
What does 'compounded' mean?
A compounded preparation is made to order by a pharmacy rather than produced in sealed manufactured batches. Aveum sources compounded therapies exclusively from licensed U.S. pharmacies.
