Living with a chronic or complex condition, such as gout, iron deficiency anemia, and migraines, can be incredibly challenging. It often involves trying various treatments to find relief and improve quality of life.
Infusion therapy, also known as intravenous (IV) therapy, is a powerful and promising treatment approach that many patients with these conditions are embracing.
What is infusion therapy?
Infusion therapy is a medical treatment where medications and, fluids, are delivered directly into the bloodstream through an IV line. It can be used for disease management in patients with chronic and complex conditions.
Medications and fluids administered through IV therapy are absorbed by the body more quickly and precisely than oral medications. This is because IV therapy bypasses the digestive system and delivers the medication directly into the bloodstream. This is important for treating conditions that require specific treatment levels, as well as for helping patients adhere to their treatment plans.
Some of the conditions that can be treated with infusion therapy include:
- Alzheimer’s
- Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
- Crohn’s disease
- Gout
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Migraines
- Multiple sclerosis
- Osteoporosis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Thyroid eye disease
- Ulcerative colitis
How does infusion therapy work?
In most cases, infusion therapy is administered through an IV catheter that is inserted into a vein in the patient’s arm. The catheter is then connected to an IV bag that contains the medication or fluids.
The duration of infusion therapy varies depending on the condition being treated and the medications involved. Some patients may only require infusion therapy once a month, while others may need it more frequently.

Here are some key advantages of using infusion therapy to treat patients with complex and chronic conditions.
