What is bone health infusion therapy?
What is bone health infusion therapy?
Osteoporosis is treated with bisphosphonates — medications that are specifically designed to slow down bone loss as well as improve bone mass.
Bisphosphonate bone health infusion therapy is an intravenous treatment that involves administering bisphosphonate drugs directly into the bloodstream to strengthen bones and prevent fractures. Bisphosphonates work by reducing bone turnover and loss, allowing bone density to increase over time.
Bisphosphonate infusion therapy allows higher drug concentrations than oral bisphosphonates, providing greater benefits for bone health. The treatment is given periodically in a clinic setting over the course of weeks or months. It is used to treat Paget’s disease, osteoporosis and other bone loss conditions by improving bone density and strength.

The frequency of NAD+ infusions depends on individual needs and specific conditions.
Here are some guidelines:
- Initial Sessions:
Most patients benefit from one session per week initially. This helps establish a baseline and allows you to experience the positive effects of NAD+ therapy. - Maintenance Sessions:
After the initial sessions, monthly maintenance sessions are recommended. These help sustain the benefits and support overall wellbeing. - Customized Approach:
It’s essential to create a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs. Factors like lifestyle, medical conditions, and medications play a role in determining the optimal frequency. - Addiction Treatment:
When treating drug and alcohol addiction, daily doses of 1000-1500 mg are given for 10-12 days consecutively.
Remember that individual responses may vary, so consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best schedule for your NAD+ infusions.

Iron is needed for many organs, especially to help form red blood cells and enable them to carry oxygen around your body. If your body has insufficient “iron”, then fewer blood cells are produced.
Your blood test have shown that you have not enough iron in your body, either because you have lost blood, because you have an infection or another condition that causes a deficiency in iron. Your doctor may have prescribed you an iron infusion because iron taking tablets has not worked or because you need to increase your iron stores quickly.
When you come into the Paarl Infusion Center a nurse can talk to you further about the treatment and what you can expect.
