Infusion Therapy is simply the administration of medication through a needle or catheter. Most of the time, the drug is administered intravenously (though sometimes drugs are provided through epidural or other non-oral routes). Doctors prescribe Infusion Therapy when oral medications will prove ineffective due to the severity of the patient’s condition. Home Infusion Therapy is, simply, Infusion Therapy performed at the home.
