Infusion therapy, or also known as “intravenous”, “intramuscular”, or “epidural” (for pregnancy) is a non-oral mode of administration of medication through a needle or catheter. Infusion therapy is administered by licensed medical practitioners to patients who suffer severe conditions that it cannot be treated via oral medications. This method is used to infections such as cancer-related illnesses, immune deficiencies, congestive heart failure, gastrointestinal disorders and more.

The medication regimens, however, are complex as the multi-faceted therapy involves intermittent pharmacist consultations, periodic medication therapy reviews, and multiple medications to monitor. In addition, drugs and medical supplies to treat illnesses that require infusion therapy will likely cost more than commercially available pharmaceutical products. Some medications require special instructions and some degree of monitoring because of the complexity of its methods.
