How a visit works

Book or Call

2 min

Schedule online or call any of our three Los Angeles locations. Same-day appointments often available.

Brief Intake Screening

5-10 min

A licensed clinician reviews your symptoms, history, allergies, and current medications. This step is required for every Rx injection.

Your Medication and Dose

2 min

Your nurse practitioner or physician assistant chooses the medication and dose that fit your symptoms and history.

Single Push & Brief Observation

10-15 min

Medication is administered IM or slow IV push. A short observation confirms you are responding well before discharge.

When this is the right service

These injections are for symptom relief, not general wellness. If you are looking for an energy boost, immune support, or vitamin replenishment, our IV and IM shot pages are a better fit.

Acute nausea or vomiting

Sudden onset that needs reliable antiemetic support.

Migraine or acute pain

Musculoskeletal or migraine pain not responding to over-the-counter options.

Itchy hives or allergy flares

Antihistamine rescue for sudden allergic symptoms.

Burning reflux or indigestion

Severe heartburn that has not responded to oral antacids.

Inflammation flare-ups

Short-term corticosteroid support when swelling drives symptoms.

Looking for wellness?

Try Vitamin Push or Vitamin IM Shots instead.

Not for emergencies

Chest pain, breathing trouble, anaphylaxis, or high fever require urgent care or 911.

Unsure if this is right for you? Book the visit. Our intake screening confirms appropriateness before any medication is administered.

About Each Medication

Each shot is a prescription medicine, given only after your provider reviews your health history and current medicines. Here is what the FDA label says about each one.

Toradol (ketorolac)

A prescription anti-inflammatory pain medicine (an NSAID). The FDA label approves it for short-term treatment, 5 days at most, of moderately severe acute pain that needs opioid-level relief.
Key risks: It can cause stomach bleeding, kidney problems, heart attack or stroke, so it isn’t for people with ulcers, bleeding problems, advanced kidney disease or an aspirin or NSAID allergy.
FDA label on DailyMed

Zofran (ondansetron)

A prescription anti-nausea medicine. The FDA label approves the injection to prevent nausea and vomiting from cancer chemotherapy or after surgery; for other nausea it is prescribed off-label, meaning outside its FDA-approved uses.
Key risks: It can affect heart rhythm, so tell your provider about heart conditions, low potassium or magnesium, and other medicines you take.
FDA label on DailyMed

Decadron (dexamethasone)

A prescription steroid medicine. The FDA label approves the injection for many conditions when a pill isn’t practical, including severe allergic conditions and joint and skin inflammation.
Key risks: It can lower your defenses against infection and raise blood sugar, so tell your provider about any infection or diabetes.
FDA label on DailyMed

Toradol, Zofran and Decadron are the familiar brand names; the shots we give are the same medicines in their generic form.

What to expect, before and after

Onset and duration

Most patients feel meaningful relief within 15 to 60 minutes. Full effect and duration vary by drug, dose, and your condition. Your clinician will set expectations during the intake.

Side effects to know

  • Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can cause drowsiness: arrange a ride if needed.
  • Ketorolac (Toradol) can cause mild stomach upset; we will recommend timing with food when relevant.
  • Transient soreness at the injection site is common and resolves quickly.
  • Your clinician will review the full risk profile before administering.

Driving and aftercare

If you receive a sedating medication or do not feel stable, please arrange transportation. Most patients can drive after a brief observation period. Hydrate, rest, and follow any specific return precautions your clinician provides.

FAQ

  • How is this different from a B12 shot or vitamin injection?

    These are prescription medications targeted at specific symptoms: nausea, pain, allergy, inflammation, reflux. Vitamin injections support nutrient status and general wellness. Different goal, different category, different page. See Vitamin IM Shots or Vitamin Push if wellness is what you need.

  • Do I need an outside prescription?

    No. Our nurse practitioners and physician assistants evaluate you on site and give your injection at the same visit.

  • Is this covered by insurance?

    We do not bill insurance for these injections. You can use HSA or FSA cards, and we can give you an itemized receipt on request.

  • Can I just walk in?

    Appointments are recommended so we can minimize your wait. Same-day availability is often possible. Walk-ins are accommodated when the schedule allows; scheduled appointments take priority.

  • How quickly will I feel relief?

    Many patients notice improvement within 15 to 60 minutes. Onset varies by medication and the severity of your symptoms. Your clinician will set realistic expectations during intake.

  • Who will administer my injection?

    Our nurse practitioners and physician assistants, under the direction of our medical director. Every visit includes a screening, your injection and a brief observation.

  • Can I drive after?

    If you receive a sedating medication like diphenhydramine (Benadryl), please arrange transportation. For most other medications, you can drive after a brief observation period.

  • When should I go to urgent care or an ER instead?

    Severe or red-flag symptoms: chest pain, breathing difficulty, suspected anaphylaxis, high fever, or rapidly worsening symptoms. These require urgent care or 911. Our service is for symptom relief in stable patients who do not need emergency-level care.
