WHAT IS INFUSION THERAPY?

Infusion therapy refers to any administration of medications in the form of a fluid and that is not administered orally. Most often infusion therapy is an intravenous administration of medications in which a fluid is injected directly into the bloodstream via a needle. However, infusion therapy can also be administered through a catheter, a thin, hollow tube, inserted in a blood vessel. While administering medications through the bloodstream is the most common type of infusion therapy, there are other ways fluid medications can be given that fall under this category:

• Subcutaneous administration is an injection under the skin.
• An intramuscular injection delivers medication directly into muscle tissue.
