Find a ProviderWhat is infusion therapy?
The term "infusion", or “infusion therapy”, references the administration of medications directly into the bloodstream of a person. It is additionally known as intravenous or IV infusion therapy. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable methods of drug administration are usually used when oral/pill medications are inappropriate, unavailable, or insufficient for addressing the need at hand. Several of the newest medications are biologic (made or derived from living cells) and cannot be taken via the mouth, like a pill, because they are no longer effective once exposed to the gastrointestinal system. Biologic medications are commonly utilized to treat inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, in addition to other autoimmune disorders. To learn more about receiving IV therapy in Dallas, TX, request an appointment with one of our skilled providers at a Digestive Health Associates of Texas location in your area.
