Tips for A Better Infusion

Ensure you have eaten a full meal prior to your infusion.
Drink plenty of water to be well hydrated. This should begin the night before your infusion.
Always bring a current list of medications to each infusion. New medications or a change in your health status must always be reported to your infusion nurse.
If you are unwell and are unsure if you should come for your infusion, please call ahead.
Wear a loose-fitting shirt. This allows the nurse to easily and properly monitor your vital signs.
Bring a blanket and/or sweater.
Bring something to help pass time (book, laptop, tablet, handiwork). Ensure you have earphones if listening to music/movie so you can be mindful of others in the clinic.
Please refrain from wearing perfume or other fragranced products.
If you receive Benadryl or Gravol as a pre-medication, it is the policy of the clinic that you do not drive yourself. Please arrange transportation in advance.
Kindly inform us of any allergies.
