Infusion therapy is an IV treatment, such as the medication Remicade. I have been on IV therapy for the last 6 months for ulcerative colitis. It is supposed to put UC patients into remission with only a few treatments. There are no side effects from this medication. Treatments are every 8 weeks after the initial few every couple of weeks. It is not a cure, just a medication to reduce symptoms. Best of luck to you!
