What is Infusion Therapy?
Infusion therapy involves the administration of specialized medications directly into the bloodstream through an IV, providing targeted relief for various digestive health conditions and often alleviating symptoms for patients with chronic conditions.
Biologic infusions represent a sophisticated approach to medical treatment, harnessing the power of biological therapy to modulate the immune system. Biologics, aptly named for their origin from living cells, proteins, sugars, and DNA, are a product of advanced technology. Primarily employed to suppress the immune system’s overactive response, biologics play a crucial role in halting and preventing damage caused by conditions such as autoimmune disorders.
