Home infusion therapy

Infusion therapy is when a nurse or doctor administers a drug through injection or intravenously (IV). If you are currently receiving an infusion therapy at a hospital or clinic, you may be able to continue your treatments at home.

Home infusion therapy is a service designated for those who receive specialty drug treatments for chronic diseases. Depending on the medicine you take and your condition, you and your healthcare team may decide receiving treatment at home is a good option.

Here are some, but not all, of the conditions that may be eligible for home infusion therapy:

• Infections that are unresponsive to oral antibiotics
• Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
• Dehydration
• Crohn’s disease
• Enzyme replacement
• Hemophilia
• Immune deficiency
• Multiple sclerosis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Psoriasis
