Infusion Therapy
Infusion Services
Medical conditions that do not respond well to oral medications may require infusion therapy. Infusion therapy uses intravenous medication administered through either a needle or a small catheter.
Infusion therapy is commonly used for cancer, gastrointestinal disorders including Crohn’s, dehydration, infections that don’t respond to antibiotics, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, congestive heart failure, and more. Infusion therapy is also used for blood transfusions, platelets, biologics, immunotherapy, and iron infusions.
