8 Questions to Ask Your Provider About Infusion Therapy
Infusion therapy can be a life-changing treatment for individuals managing chronic autoimmune, neurological, and gastrointestinal conditions.
Important Questions to Ask Your Provider
If you’re considering or already receiving infusion therapy, asking the right questions can help you make informed decisions about your health. Here are ten essential questions to ask your provider before or during your treatment.
1. How Does This Treatment Work?
Infusion therapies vary depending on the condition they treat. Ask your provider about the mechanism of action, how it interacts with your body, and what makes it different from other treatment options.
Understanding how infusion therapy helps manage your specific condition is crucial. Your provider can explain the intended effects and expected outcomes based on your diagnosis.

All treatments come with possible side effects. Understanding both common and rare side effects will help you prepare for any potential reactions and know when to seek medical assistance after your infusion therapy.
3. How Long Will Each Infusion Therapy Session Take?
Infusion therapy sessions can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the specific medication prescribed. Knowing the duration can help you plan and make arrangements for your comfort during treatment.

4. How Frequently Will I Need Infusions?
Some infusion therapies require regular treatments, while others are administered on an as-needed basis. Some require only a single dose, or a single infusion followed by injection maintenance doses. Understanding your infusion schedule ensures you stay on track with your treatment plan.
5. Will I Need Any Pre-Treatment Preparations?
Your provider may recommend specific guidelines before your infusion, such as staying hydrated, avoiding certain foods, or taking pre-medications to reduce side effects.
6. What Should I Expect During and After Treatment?
Ask about the experience itself—whether you’ll be seated or reclined, if you can bring personal items, and what you might feel during or after the infusion. Curious about what to expect at Pure Infusion Suites? Please visit our infusion FAQ page for more information.
