Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own joint tissues, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and fatigue. If standard treatments like oral medications haven’t provided the relief you need, it might be time to consider a more targeted approach—infusion therapy for rheumatoid arthritis.

Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Joint pain, tenderness, or stiffness often affects smaller joints first, typically in the hands, wrists, and feet, before potentially spreading to larger joints. Morning stiffness that lasts 30 minutes or longer is particularly characteristic of RA, distinguishing it from osteoarthritis.

Here are some symptoms that many people with RA experience, especially during flare-ups:

  • Joint pain, tenderness, or stiffness (often in hands, wrists, or knees)
  • Swelling or warmth around the joints
  • Fatigue or feeling unusually tired
  • Low-grade fever
  • Morning stiffness that lasts 30 minutes or more
  • Loss of joint range of motion

Some people may also have symptoms that affect the eyes, skin, or lungs. If you notice any of these issues, talk with your provider about next steps. Infusion therapy for rheumatoid arthritis could be a helpful option.

RA Infusion Therapy FAQs

If you’re considering or have been prescribed RA infusion therapy, you likely have questions about what to expect, potential side effects, scheduling requirements, and how these treatments fit into your overall care plan.

Infusions are often recommended when other treatments, like oral medications, haven’t worked to manage symptoms. With the support of your provider, Soleo Health can help transition your care to an infusion-based approach.

Why Consider Infusions for Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Infusions for rheumatoid arthritis deliver biologic medications straight into your bloodstream through an IV or through self-administered injections.

Since the medication doesn’t have to go through your digestive system, it can start working more directly to reduce inflammation and help slow joint damage.

For many people, IV infusion for rheumatoid arthritis offers lasting symptom relief. Infusion therapy can lead to:

  • More consistent medication levels between treatments
  • Reduced joint damage progression
  • Better long-term disease control
  • Fewer daily medications to manage

 

How Long Does a Rheumatoid Arthritis Infusion Take?

Infusion times can vary depending on the medication, but most rheumatoid arthritis infusions take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.

Depending on the medication, you may receive pre-medications like antihistamines or steroids to reduce the risk of infusion reactions.

Infusions are often slower and monitored more closely to ensure safety. Your provider will go over what to expect ahead of time, you’ll be cared for by our clinical staff trained in infusion treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in one of our Ambulatory Infusion Suites or at home.

How Often Do You Get Infusions for RA?

The frequency of infusions for rheumatoid arthritis depends on your prescribed medication.

Some patients may receive an infusion every four to eight weeks, while others may follow a different schedule based on how they respond to treatment. Over time, your provider may adjust the frequency of your infusion based on how well you respond or if side effects occur. Regular check-ins and lab monitoring help guide these adjustments.

Your care team at Soleo Health will work closely with your referring provider to make sure your plan fits your health goals and lifestyle.
