What’s Infusion Therapy?
During infusion therapy, your health care provider uses a needle or catheter (a long, thin tube) to send medication or nutrition directly into a vein in your body.
Benefits of Infusion Therapy
Your health care providers may recommend infusion therapy if they think it’ll be more effective for you than taking medications by mouth. You may have faster results with fewer side effects.
