SERVICES
With infusion therapy, medication is delivered intravenously. We currently infuse Tysabri, Solumedrol, and Ocrevus, which are prescription medicines approved for adult patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). We also infuse two new medications called Vyepti and Headache Cocktail for the treatment of headaches/migraines.
The chart below shows the amount of time each infusion usually takes.
Tysabri | 2 hours |
Ocrevus | 6 hours |
Solumedrol | 1.5 hours |
Vyepti | 1 hour |
HA Cocktail | 4 hours |
Infusion Center (Newly Remodeled in 2020)
Beverages, snacks, and a tv are provided to our patients receiving their infusions. With our most recent renovations, we also installed a bathroom inside the center for ease of access and convenience.
We understand that many of our infusions take up most or part of our patient’s day and have aimed to make the experience as comfortable as possible. In addition to adding an infusion seat to provide additional access to appointments, we have installed privacy barriers between some of our infusion seats.
