At IV One in Riyadh, a trusted infusion centre we specialize in the administration of biologic drug infusions, working closely with your healthcare provider to ensure a smooth, comfortable, and professional experience.
This article explains what biologics are, how they work, and what to expect from IV biologics treatment especially when receiving care at a trusted biologic infusion center in Saudi Arabia.
What Is Biologic Therapy?
Biologic therapy involves using lab-developed molecules to target specific components of the immune system. These medications are often prescribed by specialists such as rheumatologists, dermatologists, neurologists, or gastroenterologists to treat autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions.
Since most biologics are delivered intravenously, they must be administered in a sterile, controlled medical setting which is where IV One’s infusion services in Riyadh come in.
How Do Biologic Infusions Work?
Once prescribed by your doctor, a biologic infusion involves delivering the medication directly into the bloodstream over a period of time. This allows for optimal absorption and real-time monitoring.
At IV One, our experienced nurses follow strict biologics administration protocols, ensuring your session is comfortable, safe, and aligned with your referring physician’s orders.
Conditions Commonly Treated with Biologic Infusions
Biologics are typically used for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, including:- Rheumatoid arthritis

With an extension to include oncology medications needed for certain types of cancers and hematological diseases.
