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!

This therapy is frequently prescribed for conditions like osteomyelitis, endocarditis, and certain types of pneumonia. Other common home infusion therapies include hydration therapy and pain management medications. The convenience and efficacy of home infusion allow patients to receive necessary treatments while remaining in a familiar environment.
