Advantages of Infusion Therapy
Infusion therapy allows us to deliver fluids, medication or blood directly to your bloodstream quickly and efficiently. Infusion therapy is the safest and fastest treatment method for acute and emergency conditions as well as chronic conditions, nutrient deficiencies, dehydration, infections and more. The advantages of infusion therapy are:
- Fast Treatment – Because your IV delivers treatment directly into your bloodstream, your body can use it immediately. Treatment with a pill, oral medication, injection, patch, gel or cream will need to be absorbed or released into your body before it will take effect. Infusion therapy is fast and effective so that you can find relief as quickly as possible.
- Reduced Risk of Side Effects – Many types of infusion therapy have a lower risk of side effects or complications than other treatment methods.
- Comfortable Treatment – We will make sure your treatment is comfortable and stress-free. You can relax during treatment and enjoy some quiet time alone.
- Improved Absorption – Infusion therapy can deliver strong medications that would not be absorbed as well through your gastrointestinal tract.
How Does Infusion Therapy Work?
Before you make an appointment for infusion therapy, you will need to talk to your doctor to determine if infusion therapy is right for you. The physician will send an order, and we will verify that the medication is covered by insurance. If it is approved, we will call to schedule your infusion. When you arrive, we will take you to a comfortable, private space with everything you need to relax and feel at ease. We provide pillows, blankets, WiFi access, television, drinks and snacks. Our compassionate, friendly nurses will review what to expect and any side effects you may experience. A nurse will insert a IV attached to an infusion pump, which will administer your treatment to your bloodstream. We will make sure you are comfortable throughout your treatment and make the process as comfortable, stress-free and easy as possible.
