IV Infusion Therapy Clinic in Edinburg and Mission, TX

IV infusion therapy is a versatile treatment method that we use across various medical specialties within our practice.

For our patients suffering from severe or chronic infections that do not respond to oral antibiotics, we may recommend IV infusion therapy. By delivering antibiotics directly into the bloodstream, we increase their effectiveness in fighting off infection.

In our practice, we also use IV infusion therapy for dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, administering IV fluids to restore hydration and electrolyte levels. This is especially beneficial for patients who cannot swallow or absorb nutrients properly, necessitating parenteral nutrition.

At Catalyst Medical Group, our specialists also incorporate IV infusion therapy into pain treatment plans. This approach allows for the direct administration of pain-relieving medication into the bloodstream for immediate relief.

Our team of experts uses IV infusions for the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. Biologics, which are drugs derived from living organisms, are typically administered through IV to suppress the overactive immune system.

We also employ IV infusions in tackling infectious diseases like sepsis, severe pneumonia, and, especially when oral antibiotics are not effective. IV antibiotics enable us to deliver medication directly to the bloodstream to fight the infection.

At Catalyst Medical Group, we understand that some patients with gastrointestinal disorders like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, severe malnutrition, eating disorders, or malabsorption syndromes may struggle with oral medication absorption. In such cases, we use IV infusions to ensure that necessary nutrients and medications are effectively delivered.

We also offer IV infusions as a treatment option for individuals with severe dehydration caused by conditions such as severe diarrhea or vomiting, excessive sweating, burns, or electrolyte imbalances like hypokalemia (low potassium), hyponatremia (low sodium), hypomagnesemia (low magnesium).

IV Infusions also play a crucial role in supporting patients with acute kidney injury, heart failure, drug overdose or poisoning, traumatic injuries, and during post-surgery recovery.

● At Catalyst Medical Group, we recognize the importance of delivering effective treatment in a timely manner.

● Our IV infusion therapy is also a highly efficient way to hydrate patients and deliver vital nutrients directly to the bloodstream. This can be particularly beneficial for patients suffering from illnesses that cause severe dehydration, or those who have difficulty consuming fluids orally.

● At Catalyst Medical Group, we strive to ensure patient comfort and a speedy recovery. Our IV infusion therapy can reduce treatment time and facilitate early discharge from hospitals. It is an ideal treatment method for patients who struggle with swallowing or absorbing oral medications.

● IV infusion therapy can be used to administer a wide range of medications, including antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and pain medications. It is a versatile treatment option that can be beneficial in managing various medical conditions.

● Our highly trained medical professionals at Catalyst Medical Group are well-versed in IV infusion therapy. We prioritize patient safety and ensure regular monitoring of vital signs and fluid balance throughout the infusion process.

The rate of infusion is determined by our experienced doctors based on each patient’s condition and the type of infusion. A faster rate may be used to deliver a medication or fluid quickly, while a slower rate may be used to minimize side effects or prolong the treatment effect, which could result in a longer infusion time.

For instance, antibiotic infusions at our clinic may take between 30 minutes to an hour. In case of infusion therapies for chronic conditions like autoimmune diseases, these may take up to four hours. Our intravenous hydration therapy typically lasts around 30 to 45 minutes.

We would like to note that the duration of the infusions can change over the course of treatment. The first infusion often takes the longest as our medical professionals closely monitor any potential adverse reactions. Subsequent infusions may take less time if no complications are encountered.

At Catalyst Medical Group, we highly emphasize the importance of following our healthcare provider’s instructions carefully regarding the duration and rate of infusion. Our medical team will closely monitor each patient’s response to the infusion and adjust the rate or duration as needed to ensure the best possible outcome. We encourage our patients to consult with their healthcare providers to get a better understanding of the expected duration of their specific infusion therapy. This will help them plan their schedules effectively and mentally prepare for the process.
