Living With Autoimmune Conditions: When Infusion Therapy Makes Sense
For many people living with autoimmune diseases, oral medications or injections aren’t always enough to manage symptoms or prevent flare-ups. In these cases, your doctor may recommend infusion therapy, a treatment that delivers powerful medications directly into your bloodstream for faster, more targeted results.
At Vital Care of Portland, located in Happy Valley, Oregon, we specialize in infusion therapies for autoimmune and immune-mediated conditions. Whether you’re starting treatment for the first time or transitioning your care closer to home, we make the process simple, safe, and fully supported wherever you live in Oregon.
What Is Infusion Therapy for Autoimmune Conditions?
Infusion therapy is used to administer medications that can’t be taken by mouth. These treatments are prescribed for a wide range of autoimmune, neurologic, and immune deficiency conditions.
At Vital Care of Portland, we work with specialists across Oregon, including:
Rheumatologists – for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or vasculitis
Gastroenterologists – for Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
Neurologists – for multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Immunologists and allergists – for primary immune deficiencies, selective deficiency of IgG or common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)
Our team coordinates directly with your prescriber to ensure your therapy plan is tailored to your condition and delivered safely, no matter where you’re located in the state.
When Your Doctor Might Recommend Infusion Therapy
Your doctor may suggest infusion therapy if:
Oral medications or self-injections haven’t worked well
You need a treatment that controls inflammation more effectively
You have an immune deficiency requiring IVIG therapy
You want to reduce the frequency of flare-ups and maintain long-term stability
Infusion therapy can significantly improve quality of life by reducing symptoms, preventing disease progression, and helping patients stay active and independent.
