Intravenous Antibiotics

Intravenous antibiotics are medications delivered directly into a vein, providing a rapid and effective way to treat bacterial infections. This method ensures the medicine reaches the bloodstream quickly, allowing it to target and eliminate bacteria more effectively than oral antibiotics. It is often used for serious infections or when oral treatment isn’t suitable. The process involves inserting a thin tube called a catheter into a vein, usually in the arm. While generally safe, it requires careful monitoring for any signs of infection or complications at the insertion site.
