Many people with multiple sclerosis rely on intravenous medication to decrease disease flare ups, yet traditional hospital environments might not always provide the comfort or privacy they need. Healix Infusion Care bridges this gap by offering modern outpatient centers designed around patient well-being, where MS infusion therapy can be administered in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

What Is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks myelin, the protective covering of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. As this insulation is destroyed, the brain loses the ability to communicate with the rest of the body.

How Is MS Diagnosed?

Physicians often use spinal taps and MRIs of the brain to confirm an MS diagnosis after observing early indicators, such as:

  • Persistent fatigue that affects daily activities
  • Numbness and tingling in the face, arms, or legs
  • Muscle weakness or stiffness
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Dizziness and loss of coordination
  • Sudden vision loss

Early detection and diagnosis can guide timely interventions and support better long-term outcomes.

What Is an MS Infusion?

Multiple sclerosis infusion treatments deliver disease-modifying medications intravenously to help reduce the frequency and severity of relapses and slow the progression of MS. For more active or advanced forms of MS, physicians often recommend infusion therapy when oral or injectable therapies are not sufficient. By infusing medication directly into the bloodstream, patients may experience more targeted control of MS-related symptoms and potentially lessen the disease’s impact on daily life.

Healix Infusion Care offers a variety of MS infusion medications, including:

Each of these medications works in a unique way to modify the immune system’s activity, and the best option for a given patient can depend on factors such as the severity of MS, prior treatment history, and individual health considerations.

What To Expect During MS IV Infusion Treatments?

Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during MS IV infusion treatments. They may feel a brief prick when the needle is inserted into a vein, but it usually causes little to no pain. Some individuals notice a warm or tingling sensation around the insertion site, which is generally mild and short-lived.

A dedicated infusion team closely monitors each patient throughout the process to quickly identify any adverse reactions or complications. We provide snacks, beverages, and other amenities to help make the experience more pleasant. Healix provides a cozy atmosphere with comfortable recliners and blankets.

How Will You Feel After an MS Infusion?

Some common post-infusion side effects may include: 

  • Skin rash
  • Fever
  • Sore throat
  • Coughing
  • Itching

These effects are generally temporary and manageable, and a healthcare provider can recommend strategies to help relieve symptoms. It’s also important to remember that an infusion for MS may take time to achieve noticeable benefits.

How Long Do MS Infusions Last?

The length and frequency of MS infusion therapy can vary quite a bit depending on each patient’s treatment plan. In general, patients can expect to spend a few hours at an infusion center for each treatment. Infusions are given on a regular schedule as long as the medication is well-tolerated and produces good results.
