What is Lactated Ringer’s IV Therapy?

Lactated Ringer’s is an intravenous (IV) fluid commonly used to help address dehydration and support the body’s natural balance of fluids and essential minerals. Unlike standard saline solutions, Lactated Ringer’s contains a specific blend of sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and lactate. Because this isotonic solution closely mimics the body’s natural blood plasma, it is designed to be a gentle option to help replenish lost fluids directly into the bloodstream while aiming to minimize cellular fluid imbalances.
A medical provider may recommend Lactated Ringer’s IV therapy for patients looking to support their recovery from illness, strenuous physical exertion, or dehydration. The inclusion of electrolytes like potassium and calcium can help support healthy muscle and nerve function, while the lactate compound is metabolized by the liver to help balance the body’s pH levels. By bypassing the digestive system, this therapy is designed to provide rapid hydration that may help patients feel revitalized and energized.

What Can Lactated Ringer’s IV Therapy Help With?

Lactated Ringer’s IV therapy is designed to provide comprehensive fluid and electrolyte support to help maintain your body’s natural baseline.

Rapid Hydration

Aims to deliver essential fluids directly into the bloodstream for efficient cellular absorption, bypassing the slower digestive process.

pH Balance Support

The lactate in this solution is metabolized into bicarbonate by the liver, which may help neutralize excess acidity and support a healthy acid-base balance in the body.

Electrolyte Replenishment

Can help replenish critical minerals—including potassium and calcium—that are often lost through sweat, illness, or strenuous physical exertion.

Post-Illness & Recovery Support

Designed to provide a foundation of hydration and nutrients that can help alleviate fatigue, reduce the likelihood of muscle cramping, and support recovery after a workout or sickness.

This is by far the kindest and most caring team I’ve ever encountered. They are genuinely attentive and make you feel truly supported throughout your treatment. I drove a little over an hour, three times a week, because the care was truly worth it. This was my second time receiving care here, and I will continue to return because the results have been incredible. The first time, I came in with severe lower back pain from a car accident, my spine had even shifted slightly due to the intensity of the pain. Within just a few weeks, they completely healed my back and corrected the deviation. I’m beyond grateful for their expertise and compassion.

I’ve been going to Atlanta Innovative Medicine for over a year now and to say they have helped me to live a healthier and happier life is an understatement. As someone with an autoimmune disease, the IV Ozone treatment has made a huge difference in my symptoms and pain. I didn’t even realize how much of a difference it had made until I missed making an appointment and had a huge flare up of symptoms that then required months of steroids to get the inflammation back under control. They are so nice, so helpful, and work really hard to get you in and out for your treatments in a timely manner. Nurse Practitioner Jessica in particular is an angel who is so incredible at what she does. Anyone who ends up under her care is lucky! You can tell everyone who works there is truly happy to be there, helping  people get healthy, to feel and look their best! I love this place!

I went to Atlanta Innovative Medicine for shoulder pain that was ongoing for about 6 months. In 11 treatments over 2 months, my shoulder is very much improved and I am ecstatic with my results! Molly at reception is super kind and helpful, Jessica who did my injections was very thorough and has great bedside manner, and PT was always a good time with Chris and Arsenio! Couldn’t be happier with the time and money spent here!

I’m so happy with my treatment at Atlanta Innovative Medicine. My husband and I travel from another state to receive treatment and we are extremely happy. The staff is very professional and informative. They all go above and beyond with patient care. Jessica was the nurse assigned to us for our treatment and we are so thankful for her care and professionalism. At each appointment we felt understood, safe, and better. The environment is so peaceful and clean. We feel such an improvement with our health. We are excited to return to continue our treatment. I highly recommend Atlanta Innovative Medicine.

I went in to see Dr. Mercante for neck pain after several visits they had me feeling a lot better. Everyone in the office is extremely professional and friendly and their innovative procedures are state of the art. I would highly recommend giving them a visit, whether it be for an injury, or just for regular maintenance. I will continue treating with them in the future if the need ever arises.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lactated Ringer’s IV Therapy

What is the difference between Lactated Ringer’s and Normal Saline?

Normal Saline contains sodium and chloride mixed in sterile water. Lactated Ringer's includes those same ingredients but adds potassium, calcium, and lactate, making its composition much closer to your body's natural blood plasma.

Is Lactated Ringer’s better than Normal Saline for hydration?

It isn't necessarily "better" universally, but it is often preferred when patients need both fluid and electrolyte replacement, or when supporting the body's pH balance is a priority. Your provider will choose the fluid that best aligns with your specific clinical needs.

How long does a Lactated Ringer’s IV take?

Most IV drip sessions take between 45 to 60 minutes. You can relax, read, or work on your phone in our comfortable clinic while the fluids are safely administered.

How often can you receive Lactated Ringer’s IV therapy?

Frequency depends entirely on your individual health goals, lifestyle, and clinical evaluation. Some patients may use it occasionally for recovery support after an illness or event, while others might incorporate it into a regular, medically supervised wellness routine.

What are the side effects of Lactated Ringer’s IV therapy?

Side effects are typically rare and mild, mostly limited to a cooling sensation in the arm during administration, or slight pinching or bruising at the injection site. Your provider will review your medical history during your evaluation to help ensure this therapy is a safe option for you.

Does the lactate in Lactated Ringer’s increase lactic acid?

No, this is a common misconception! The lactate in Lactated Ringer’s is actually metabolized by your liver into bicarbonate. Because bicarbonate acts as a base, it can actually help reduce acidity and support your body’s pH balance. It is not designed to cause a build-up of lactic acid in your muscles.
