Improper use of injectable medications (or unsafe injection practices) can put you or a loved one at risk of disease transmission, including bacterial infections or bloodborne pathogens. In addition, self-administration of injectable medications requires the same infection prevention techniques in the home as they do in the doctor's office.

Infusion therapy is a safe way to take medicines or fluids that cannot be taken by mouth. A nurse will visit and administer your infusion. Treatment will become part of your routine. Your supplies need to be kept sterile. Otherwise, they are not safe to use. Inspect, store, and dispose of supplies as directed by the nurse.
With infusion therapy, medicines or fluids flow through a flexible tube (catheter) placed in a vein or under the skin—usually on your arm or chest (infusion site).
