What is Infusion Therapy?
Infusion Solutions offers infusion therapy. This term refers to provider-supervised administration of medications via intravenous (IV), intramuscular injectable (IM), and subcutaneous injectable (SQ) routes.
Intravenous/Infusion or injectable methods of drug delivery are typically used when oral/pill medications are insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. Many of the newest medications are biologic (made or derived from living cells) and cannot be taken orally in pill form because they do not remain effective after exposure to the digestive system.
A wide variety of conditions are treated with infusion (IV) and injectable therapy. Many of the newest infusible and injectable medications are used to treat autoimmune conditions – diseases in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy cells. Infusion therapy is also used to treat several other conditions, including infections that are unresponsive to oral antibiotics, and pain associated with migraines, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, congestive heart failure, hemophilia, and many more.
