Infusion Therapy

Infusion therapy at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse is the IV administration of medication or nutrition into your veins. You may need infusion therapy if you're dehydrated, or have a nutritional deficiency, infection, cancer or renal failure.

Infusion therapy can decrease time spent in the hospital, so you can return to work, school or home with a decreased risk of infections. Because it's delivered on an outpatient basis, medical costs are lower, and you'll have more time to spend with family and friends.

Treatments include:

• Antibiotics
• Autoimmune disease management
• Arthritis treatment
• Fluids for dehydration
