Infusion therapy:
It is a process of delivering fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into a vein through an intravenous (IV) line.
This method allows for faster and more controlled delivery of substances into the bloodstream compared to other routes, such as oral medication or intramuscular injection.
Infusion therapy is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
Cancer: Chemotherapy drugs are often delivered through infusion therapy.
Autoimmune diseases: Medications that suppress the immune system can be administered through IV.
Dehydration: Fluids can be replaced through infusion therapy in cases of severe dehydration.
Nutritional deficiencies: People who are unable to get enough nutrients orally may receive them through IV.
Blood disorders: Some blood products, such as platelets, can be given through infusion therapy.
Various Neurological conditions which may require Infusion/IV thearpy include (but not limiting to):
Multiple Sclerosis
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Guillain-Barré syndrome
Myasthenia gravis
If you are considering infusion therapy, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of this treatment.
