“Infusion therapy is used worldwide to treat inflammatory conditions. It reduces inflammation and stops disease progression. I’ve seen infusions make a big difference in my patients’ lives.”
The infusion center at Salem Rheumatology is located within the clinic, making treatment easy and efficient for you.
Infusion therapy refers to a type of treatment or therapy in which medicine is delivered directly through a needle into the body. These infusions are delivered via an IV into a blood vessel. A Registered Nurse will place the IV, usually into a vein in the arm, and you will relax in a comfortable chair for the duration of the treatment. We are also able to draw labs during the infusion process to avoid the need for additional blood draws. You will be able to drive after the procedure.
Our nurses are very experienced with the administration of our drugs, clinical indications, and expected clinical effects. At our center, we perform pre-infusion screening at every visit to make sure there are no contraindications to medication administration. This allows for better patient observation for side effects of their disease or therapy.
Our nurses monitor our patients continually during their infusions and are experienced in treating medication reactions if they occur. Our onsite rheumatologist is always present during infusion hours and is available immediately if needed for any infusion questions or infusion reaction treatment.
