Why should I obtain my medication through the recommended pharmacy?

The Infusion Clinic recommends you obtain your medication through our recommended pharmacy for a number of reasons. Firstly, intravenous preparations of medications are not commonly found in community pharmacies and sourcing the medication can be difficult, especially at short notice. Furthermore, storage of such medications is of utmost importance to ensure safety and efficacy. Our recommended pharmacist delivers your medication directly to The Infusion Clinic where it is stored appropriately in time for your infusion, ensuring maximum convenience and effectiveness.

Lastly, the buying power of our patients ensures that prices of potentially expensive intravenous medications are kept to a minimum for everyone.

Please note that there is no financial or other business relationship between The Infusion Clinic and our recommended pharmacy- our arrangement has been developed purely for the safety, affordability and convenience of our patients.
