Infusion Therapy
What is Infusion Therapy?
Infusion therapy is a medical treatment in which medication or nutrients are delivered directly into a person's bloodstream.
It can be used to treat many different health conditions, including infections, dehydration, and cancer.
Infusion therapy is considered safe and effective and has few side effects. However, the procedure may involve one or several treatments over time, and the time it takes depends on the type of infusion and the treatment's purpose.
Additionally, infusion therapy can be used to provide nutrients and hydration when they cannot be taken by mouth.
Infusion Therapy provides medications, electrolytes, biological preparations, blood, and other fluids through the bloodstream.

What to Expect
When you attend your first infusion therapy appointment, your doctor will likely explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you have.
They may also take some time to discuss the potential risks associated with the procedure and any potential side effects they expect you to experience.
You may be asked to provide a blood sample or other tests so your doctor can accurately monitor your response to the treatment.
Depending on the type of infusion therapy, you may need to remain at the medical facility during and after the procedure. After your infusion, your doctor will review any follow-up instructions before you go home.
