What Are the Dangers of Infusion Therapy?
Infusion therapy is a method of administering drugs into the bloodstream, underneath the skin or into surrounding areas of the spinal cord. Infusion therapy is a preferred method of giving drugs to patients who are unable to tolerate oral medication, such as people with gastrointestinal disease or severe vomiting. Infusion therapy can also be used to give certain drugs that are chemically available as intravenous (IV) solutions. Infusion drugs are usually given through an access created on the body by a doctor.
