Direct medication, faster healing

IV (intravenous) infusion therapy is the delivery of drugs and nutrition directly into the veins for faster absorption into the bloodstream. Because this is an on-demand, outpatient procedure, the freedom to come and go makes infusion therapy a great option that allows for less time in a doctor's office and more time enjoying life.

​

Intravenous infusion therapy can be used for a variety of medications. Depending on your diagnosis and particular needs, your doctor will choose which medication is right for you, and procedures will begin shortly thereafter.

​

Speaking of the procedure, it is a fairly straightforward, minimally invasive process where an IV catheter is placed in the arm or hand where the medications are infused (“drip”) over a period of time. The amount of medicine and the duration of the session depends on your diagnosis and your doctor.
