IV drips and injections: what a visiting doctor can and cannot authorise
IV therapy at home sits in two very different categories, and it pays to know which one you are buying. The first is clinical: rehydration saline for gastroenteritis, IV antiemetics for uncontrolled vomiting, IV paracetamol for high fever, and in some cases a first dose of IV antibiotics after assessment. A licensed doctor can order and administer these during a visit, with vitals taken before, during and after the infusion. Expect the clinical assessment to come first, always; a doctor who agrees to a specific drip over chat before examining anyone is skipping the step that makes it safe.
Injections follow a similar logic. Visiting doctors and nurses routinely administer prescribed intramuscular medication, vaccine catch-ups where the vendor is licensed for it, and injectable courses a hospital already started, think post-surgical anticoagulants. What no home visit can include is dispensing narcotic or controlled-class drugs from the bag; those move only through pharmacy channels on special prescription formats. Administration of an injection with a consultation typically prices as an add-on inside the AED 300-800 visit range rather than doubling it.
What it costs
sick leave certificate generally falls in the AED 300–800 band. Comparing several verified vendors on the same job description is what stops you overpaying.

Pediatric home consultationAED 350-700
IV fluids or medically indicated drip during a visitAED 350-800
Injection administration with consultationAED 300-550
Second family member examined in the same visitAED 150-400
You will see each vendor's price against your job description, then decide. No commitment until then.
Frequently asked questions
Is a home visit safe for a baby or should I always go to hospital?
For most childhood illness in children over three months, fever, coughs, ear pain, gastro, a home pediatric assessment is appropriate and often produces a better exam than a stressed late-night waiting room. Hard exceptions go to hospital: any fever under three months of age, laboured breathing, unusual drowsiness, refusal of all fluids, or a rash that does not fade under pressure.
How quickly can a doctor reach me?
It depends on your emirate, your district and the hour, which is why vendors quote an arrival window at booking rather than a universal promise. Central Dubai and Abu Dhabi districts see the shortest windows; Ajman, UAQ and the east coast run longer because many doctors dispatch from neighbouring emirates. Confirm the window in writing and treat a vendor that holds it as one to rebook.
Can a home doctor stitch a cut or treat a wound?
Minor wound cleaning, dressing and simple suturing of small, clean lacerations are within scope for many visiting GPs who carry suture kits. Deep wounds, facial wounds in children, animal bites, and anything with heavy bleeding or suspected tendon or nerve involvement belong in an emergency department, where exploration and imaging are available.
Should I book telehealth or a physical visit first?
Telehealth first for anything ambiguous. It costs a fraction of a visit, resolves a meaningful share of cases with advice or an e-prescription, and when a visit is still needed, the doctor arrives pre-briefed and properly packed. Skip straight to a visit when a physical exam is obviously required, such as ear pain, chest sounds, dehydration or wound care.
Can one visit cover two sick family members?
Usually, and it is the economical way to handle a household virus, since second-patient add-ons commonly run AED 150-400 against a full second call-out. Declare every patient when booking, though; each person needs their own assessment, documentation and prescription, and the doctor needs to allocate enough time on site.
