Rheumatology Infusion Therapy in Toms River, NJ

Overview

Rheumatologists care for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that affect the joints, muscles, bones and connective tissue. Many of these conditions are managed long term, and some of the most effective medicines, including biologics, are given by IV infusion or by injection under the skin. Infuse Care gives rheumatologist-prescribed therapies in private suites, with nurses who monitor each treatment and keep your rheumatology team informed.

How Treatment May Help

Depending on the condition, these medicines may help reduce inflammation, pain and stiffness, slow joint damage, lower lupus disease activity and flares, lower uric acid in chronic gout, or reduce fracture risk. They do not cure these conditions, and results vary from person to person.

Treatment Considerations

Many rheumatology biologics lower the immune system's ability to fight infection, so screening for tuberculosis and hepatitis B is often required before starting. Infusion reactions can occur, and some medicines need pre-treatment or extra lab checks. Our clinical team reviews each referral for these requirements before scheduling and monitors you during and after every visit.

Your prescribing provider decides which treatment is right for you. Infuse Care administers prescribed therapies after a referral, a clinical review and any required insurance authorization, and we keep your provider's office updated on your care.
