Our Infusion Center
Certain diseases require the administration of intravenous medications for an ongoing period of time. In the past, this was usually done at a local hospital, which caused significant inconvenience to the patient. In order to provide a less stressful experience, Rheumatology Associates of South Texas has created a relaxed, friendly environment for patients requiring intravenous infusions at our Stone Oak facility.
We administer the treatments for autoimmune diseases with medications including Remicade, Rituxan, Orencia, Actemra, Cimzia, Simponi, and Benlysta. We also administer intravenous medications for the treatment of Osteoporosis. All infusions are monitored directly by an experienced Registered Nurse under the supervision of the ordering physician.
