Infusion Therapy Conditions & Treatments

Infusion therapy is a medical treatment that involves the administration of medication, fluids or nutrition directly into your bloodstream. Unlike oral supplementation, which relies on the digestive system, infusion therapy delivers vital substances directly to your body, bypassing potential barriers.

Depending on the medication or condition being treated, infusion therapy can be a more effective and efficient way to deliver necessary substances. For example, people with chronic conditions often benefit from infusion therapy as it allows for consistent and controlled delivery of vital nutrients, medications or fluids. 

Why has my doctor prescribed Infusion Therapy?

What are some of the treatments I may have with Infusion Therapy?

With infusion therapy, medicines or fluids flow through a flexible tube (catheter) that’s placed in a vein or just under the skin—usually your arm or chest (infusion site).

Treatments may include:

  • Antibody therapy
  • Biotherapy
  • Blood transfusions and platelet transfusions
  • Central line and catheter care
  • Hydration and electrolyte replacement
  • Injections
  • IV and injectable antibiotics
  • Multiple sclerosis treatments
  • Rheumatoid arthritis treatments
  • Therapeutic phlebotomy (blood draws)
  • Wound care
  • Urethral catheter changes and long-term maintenance
