What Infusion Services Can Be Administered?

Cochise Oncology offers a range of infusion services designed to improve your health and speed your recovery from various conditions. These include:

If you have an iron deficiency or your physician has diagnosed you with anemia, you may require an iron infusion. This procedure helps to raise iron levels faster than traditional dietary changes or supplementation. 

IV Antibiotics
