Infusion therapy delivers medicine in the vein (IV) for treatment of various diseases. It is a safe and effective alternative when a patient’s condition is severe and oral medications are not an option. Your therapy will be performed in our office infusion center which is a relaxed but clinically appropriate setting. All infusion therapy is managed by a physician and a specially trained nurse.
One of the main advances in rheumatology has been the development of infused medications that have made a significant difference in the outcome of various diseases.
Once the physician has prescribed the appropriate drug you will be informed of the benefits, side effects, etc., and then appointments will be made for the proper schedule of treatments. Depending on the drug the infusion may take 30 minutes to several hours. During your entire infusion you will be monitored by our specialized team of nurses. A physician is always immediately available if needed.
