Biologic Infusion Therapy

Welcome to the Biologic Infusion Therapy service at Emirates Hospitals Group. Our clinic offers advanced biologic infusion therapies designed to treat a variety of chronic and complex conditions. Biologic infusion therapy involves administering medications derived from living organisms to target specific pathways in the immune system, helping to manage and treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and other autoimmune disorders. Our dedicated team of specialists is committed to providing high-quality, personalized care to enhance your health and improve your quality of life.

What is Biologic Infusion Therapy?

Biologic infusion therapy involves the administration of biologic medications directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) infusion. Unlike traditional drugs, biologics are derived from living cells and are designed to target specific components of the immune system that contribute to disease. This targeted approach helps to modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation, offering significant benefits for patients with chronic and autoimmune conditions.

Biologic Infusion Therapy Treatments

At Emirates Hospitals Group, we provide a range of biologic infusion therapies tailored to meet individual patient needs:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: Biologics such as TNF inhibitors, IL-6 receptor antagonists, and other targeted therapies help manage symptoms and slow disease progression.
• Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis: Therapies like anti-TNF agents and integrin inhibitors work to reduce inflammation and improve gastrointestinal function.
• Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis: Biologics targeting specific immune system proteins help manage skin symptoms and joint pain.
• Multiple Sclerosis: Medications that modify the immune response and reduce disease activity in the central nervous system.

Causes for Biologic Infusion Therapy

Biologic infusion therapy is used for managing conditions where traditional treatments may be less effective or where a more targeted approach is needed. Common indications include:

• Chronic Inflammatory Conditions: Diseases characterized by persistent inflammation and immune system dysfunction.
• Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues in the body.
• Complex and Severe Cases: Situations where standard treatments have not achieved adequate control of the disease.

Biologic Infusion Therapy Symptoms

Biologic infusion therapy addresses a wide range of symptoms associated with chronic and autoimmune conditions, including:

• Persistent Joint Pain: Reducing inflammation and relieving pain in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
• Digestive Issues: Alleviating symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue in inflammatory bowel diseases.
• Skin Conditions: Managing severe psoriasis and improving skin appearance and comfort.
• Neurological Symptoms: Addressing symptoms of multiple sclerosis, including muscle weakness, balance issues, and cognitive changes.

Biologic Infusion Therapy Diagnosis 

Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Our process includes:

• Medical History and Physical Examination: Comprehensive assessment of symptoms, previous treatments, and overall health.
• Laboratory Tests: Blood tests to evaluate biomarkers and disease activity levels.
• Imaging Studies: MRI or CT scans to assess the extent of disease and monitor treatment response.
