The term "infusion" or "infusion therapy" refers to administering medications and/or fluids directly into a patient's vein. This process is also referred to as intravenous or IV therapy. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable methods of medication administration are typically utilized if pill/oral medications are unavailable, inappropriate, or insufficient. Several of the latest medications are biologic (made or derived from living cells) and cannot be ingested via the mouth, like a pill, as they will not remain effective once exposed to the digestive system. Biologic medications are often prescribed to treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, in addition to other autoimmune disorders. If you or a loved one are seeking infusion therapy in Little Rock, AR, request an appointment at a local GastroArkansas in your community.

Doctor and staff were friendly, professional, and kind, making a potentially unpleasant experience pain-free and even pleasant. Prep wasn’t terrible and relatively easy.
