Buying drips, often a part of intravenous (IV) therapy, can be done through various methods depending on the medical setting and the type of drip being administered. In general, drips are classified into two main types: continuous and intermittent.
Continuous drips deliver fluids and medications at a constant rate over an extended period, typically ranging from several hours to days. These drips are commonly used to provide hydration, administer antibiotics, or deliver pain relievers. In contrast, intermittent drips deliver fluids or medications in smaller volumes at specific intervals, typically ranging from several minutes to hours. Intermittent drips are often used to administer medications that require precise timing or a specific dosage.
