Hangover clinic making house calls for Christmas season

A clinic is making house calls to rescue wary revellers who overindulge leading up to the Christmas holidays.

Surry Hills Hangover Clinic in Sydney is offering a service which includes an IV drip, oxygen and anti-nausea drugs.

One ‘patient’ Katy Moore told the Daily Telegraph she was ‘hooked’ on the treatment, which she claims is ‘like having a Berocca but on steroids’.

Packages offered range from the ‘Quick Shot’ special in time for Christmas for $59.95, all the way up to ‘The Resurrection’ premium package for $200.

After making a booking a doctor arrives at the person’s house and administers the treatment from the comfort of the couch.

Treatments usually take 30 to 40 minutes, and Ms Moore said the hangover treatment allows her to keep up her active lifestyle following a night of drinking.

Clinic owner Max Pedro said after the clinic opened two years ago he realised there was demand for making house calls.

‘One of our senior doctors will come in and give you a little cannula, you get an IV drip, it hydrates you, it goes straight into your bloodstream,’ he said.

‘We also have oxygen tubes. We base the treatment we use though on the severity of the hangover.’

He said the anti-nausea drug used in the treatment is also used in chemotherapy.

All the doctors at the clinic are fully qualified and licensed.
