In-House Infusion Therapy

Advanced IV Treatment for Complex Neurological Conditions

At Neurology Associates P.C., we understand that some neurological disorders require more than standard medications. That’s why we offer in-house infusion therapy, a safe and effective way to deliver advanced treatments directly into the bloodstream—right from the comfort of our office.

All infusions are administered by our trained clinical staff under the direct supervision of Dr. Virendra V. Ranevde, MD, a board-certified neurologist with years of experience managing complex neurological cases.

What is Infusion Therapy?

Infusion therapy is a treatment method in which medication is delivered intravenously (through an IV). This allows for higher absorption and faster action—ideal for patients who:

  • Don’t respond well to oral medications
  • Require intensive immunological or anti-inflammatory treatment
  • Have complex neurological disorders that are difficult to manage with traditional options

Conditions We Treat with IV Infusions

We use infusion therapy as part of comprehensive care for several challenging neurological conditions, including:

  • Autoimmune Encephalitis
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Flare-ups
  • Myasthenia Gravis
  • CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy)
  • Refractory Epilepsy (when appropriate)
  • Neurological complications from systemic autoimmune disorders

Types of IV Infusion Therapies We Offer

IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin)

A blood-derived product containing antibodies to help modulate the immune system. Often used in autoimmune neurological conditions like CIDP, myasthenia gravis, or certain seizure disorders.

High-Dose Corticosteroid Infusions (e.g., Solu-Medrol)

Used for treating inflammation and immune flare-ups in conditions such as MS relapses, autoimmune encephalitis, or other inflammatory brain syndromes.

Other Specialized Therapies

We also coordinate biologic or targeted infusions as per latest guidelines and case-specific needs, with close monitoring of lab work and progress.
