Home infusion therapy involves the administration of a sterile medication through a needle or catheter in a patient's own residence. It is used when a patient's condition cannot be treated effectively by oral medications. Home infusions are safe and effective, having been provided since the 1980s.
Home infusion therapy is more convenient for patients than traditional infusion clinics, particularly for those who receive multiple treatments per day. Medications are shipped or delivered directly to the home, where nursing staff will arrive to prepare and administer the medication. – Jeff Prosch, Assistant Director of Pharmacy
