What is Home Infusion (IV) Therapy?
Home infusion therapy is the process of delivering medications or fluids directly into the bloodstream or body through a needle or catheter. It involves careful administration of treatments like antibiotics, nutrition, or pain management. This method ensures controlled and continuous delivery of essential therapies.
