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.
