Short nursing visit, call-out to Ogba included.
Booked
Online, today
Before 2pm is usually same day.
A registered nurse comes to your address in Ogba, sites the cannula, runs the prescribed infusion, and stays for the whole run rather than setting it up and leaving. Fluids, antibiotics, rehydration after a bad few days, or a course your doctor has already written. The cannula, the infusion supervision and the nurse's time are three separate published fees, and you see all three before you pay.
Call-out to Ogba is ₦8,000, and it is waived on any booking where the service total clears ₦50,000.

We do not sell drips on demand
An infusion is a prescribed treatment, not a wellness product. We will not run a vitamin drip or an immune booster because somebody asked for one. Bring a valid prescription and we will give it properly, or book a doctor home consult and let a doctor decide whether you need a drip at all. Most of the people who think they need one need something cheaper.
What happens, step by step
- 1
Have the prescription ready
We need a valid prescription for what is being infused. If you do not have one, book a doctor home consult at ₦75,000 instead and the doctor will decide, prescribe and start it in the same visit.
- 2
Book the nurse's time
An hour at ₦40,000 covers a short run. Three hours at ₦60,000 covers an infusion that genuinely has to take its time, or a course of more than one bag.
- 3
Add the cannula and the supervision
Siting the cannula is ₦8,200. Running and supervising the infusion is ₦12,000. Both carry a refundable consumables deposit which is reconciled against receipts within 48 hours.
- 4
The nurse stays for the run
Observations are taken and charted before, during and after. The line comes out at the end unless a further dose is due. If anything goes wrong, a Mezo doctor is on an open escalation line.

IV drip at home in Ogba: what people ask
How much is an IV drip at home in Ogba?
It is three published fees, not one. The nurse's time from ₦40,000, siting the cannula at ₦8,200, and supervising the infusion at ₦12,000. A standard one hour nurse visit with a cannula and a supervised infusion comes to ₦60,200. A refundable consumables deposit is held on top and reconciled against receipts within 48 hours. Call-out to Ogba is ₦8,000, and it is waived on any booking where the service total clears ₦50,000.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. We will not infuse anything without a valid prescription for it. If you do not have one, book a doctor home consult and the doctor will assess you, decide whether an infusion is actually the right treatment, and prescribe it if it is.
Do you sell vitamin drips or immune boosters?
No. There is a market for them in Lagos and we have chosen not to be in it. If you are tired, unwell or run down, the useful thing is a doctor working out why, not a bag of expensive fluid. Book the consult.
Does the nurse stay for the whole infusion?
Yes, that is what the supervision fee buys. An infusion left running with nobody watching it is how people get hurt. Observations are charted before, during and after the run.
What if I need a course over several days?
Book the visits you need, or take a nursing shift if the doses are spread across the day. A 12 hour day shift is ₦130,000 and covers several doses with one nurse present throughout.
What happens to the cannula afterwards?
It comes out at the end unless a further dose is due, in which case it can be left in place safely and removed at the next visit. Removal at a later visit is ₦6,000.
