What is infusion therapy?

Infusion therapy involves the administration of medications through a needle or catheter.  It is prescribed when a patient’s condition is so severe that it cannot be treated effectively by oral medications.  At Poudre Infusion Therapy we provide professional, personalized, comprehensive infusion services in your home or in our private Ambulatory Infusion Suites. 

Common infusion therapies administered via infusion include; antibiotics, antifungal, antiviral, chemotherapy, hydration, pain management, and blood products. However, at Poudre Infusion Therapy, we do much more: immunotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, and injections for severe/moderate asthma. 

Infusion therapy is also provided to patients for treating a wide assortment of often chronic and sometimes rare diseases for which “specialty” infusion medications are effective.  Examples include:  Immuglobulin (for immunodeficiency), Remicade (for Rheumatoid Arthritis), Tysabri (for Multiple Sclerosis), blood factors, and many others.

We have three locations for Ambulatory Infusion; Fort Collins, Windsor, and in the CSU Health and Medical Building.  Each location has two private suites with wireless internet, cable TV, comfortable recliners, snacks, and refreshments.  We even offer weekend hours. 

Our infusion nurses and pharmacists help you individualize your care with your physician.  We provide collaboration via telephone calls and RN notes to your doctor.   Our pharmacists and nurses will monitor lab values, help to minimize side effects, and monitor your disease state. 

We handle obtaining authorization from your insurance company and schedule your infusions.  We are a preferred provider for all major commercial insurance companies.

Additionally, Poudre Infusion Therapy is able to help patients with intravenous needs at home. The patient/family member is instructed on self-administration of the intravenous antibiotic/antifungal/steroid therapy so that the infusion can be done independently in the comfort of your home.
