Infusion Therapy FAQs
How long does an infusion therapy appointment take?
Treatment times vary depending on the medication being administered. Some
infusions may take less than an hour, while others can last several hours.
Your care team will explain what to expect before treatment begins.
Is infusion therapy painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort when the IV is inserted.
Once treatment begins, infusion therapy is generally well tolerated, though
some medications may cause temporary side effects.
Are infusion treatments safe?
Infusion therapy is administered under medical supervision, and patients
are monitored throughout treatment. Your healthcare team is trained to
recognize and manage potential side effects or infusion reactions.
What are the possible side effects of infusion therapy?
Side effects vary depending on the medication being administered. Some
patients experience fatigue, nausea, headache, or mild infusion-related
reactions, while others have few or no side effects. Your provider will
discuss potential risks before treatment.
Can I drive myself home after an infusion?
Many patients can drive themselves home after treatment, but this depends
on the medication administered and how they feel afterward. Your care
team can advise you based on your specific treatment plan.
