Outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) is now accepted as standard care in most communities. Antibiotic therapy may be given at home, in an office-based setting, or through a hospital-based infusion program. OPAT offers several advantages to patients, health care providers, and insurers.
Remicade is typically given in the outpatient setting of the doctor's office. A nurse or assistant mixes the powdered form of the Remicade with sterile water. The solution is injected into a large bag of sterile clear water for the infusion. Tubing is connected to the bag and the bag is attached atop an IV pole.
