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.
