Infusion therapy involves the administration of medication through an IV or catheter. It is usually prescribed when a patient’s condition cannot be effectively treated with medication by mouth. Traditionally provided only in the hospital, infusion therapy can now be safely provided in the comfort of home, giving patients more freedom to continue to live independently.
