Infusion Therapy (IV Infusion) in Lubbock, TX

Infusion therapy describes the administration of medications and/or fluids directly into the blood vessels. This process is also called intravenous or IV administration. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable medication is commonly used when pills or oral medications are insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. Several new medications are derived or made from living cells (biologic) and cannot be consumed via the mouth because they lose their effectiveness after exposure to the gastrointestinal tract. Biologic medications treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and other autoimmune disorders. If you require IV therapy in Lubbock, TX, request an appointment at a Lubbock Digestive Disease Associates location in your area.
