What is a primary service offered by home infusion pharmacies?

Home infusion pharmacies primarily focus on preparing and delivering medications specifically designed for administration in a home setting. This service is crucial for patients who require intravenous (IV) medications or other forms of therapy that can't be safely or effectively administered via oral routes. Home infusion pharmacies not only supply the medications but also ensure that they are prepared under sterile conditions to minimize infection risk, provide necessary equipment, and sometimes offer education to patients or caregivers about how to administer the therapy safely at home.

This type of service supports patients with various medical conditions, allowing them to receive treatment in the comfort of their home while maintaining their independence and improving their quality of life.
