Infusion Therapy

Infusion therapy is a method of delivering medications directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. This approach is commonly used when oral medications are not effective, not suitable, or cannot be absorbed properly by the body.
Many modern treatments, especially biologic medications derived from living cells, cannot be taken by mouth because they lose effectiveness in the digestive system. These therapies are often prescribed for chronic gastrointestinal and autoimmune conditions, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
