I. V. Drugs
Intravenous administration of drugs is indispensable today. A patient is administered drugs intravenously, meaning directly into a vein. This type of administration is used in cases of emergency, since the drug this way reaches the entire human body directly through the bloodstream and can be effective within a few seconds. Drugs are also administered intravenously in intensive care and during surgeries. Physicians decide to administer drugs via the vein particularly when patients are no longer able to take drugs orally or if the digestive tract no longer functions properly.
Fresenius Kabi offers a wide range of generic intravenously administered drugs. Primarily severely ill patients in hospitals are treated with these drugs – for example at emergency wards and intensive care units. Analgesics and anesthetics as well as antibiotics and antiinfectants are among these drugs.
