Intravenous infusion therapy refers to the administration of a drug directly into the bloodstream through a vein, central or peripheral.
Intravenous infusion is indicated when, for example, administration via the gastrointestinal route is not possible due to the characteristics of the drug itself or the gastrointestinal conditions of the patient that prevent its absorption.
Examples of fields of application are Parenteral Nutrition and Antibiotic Therapy.
