Severe Asthma
At Advanced Wellness Infusion Centers, we offer personalized, evidence-based infusion treatments to support patients living with Severe Asthma. Our experienced team is here to provide care that is safe, compassionate and focused on improving quality of life every step of the way.
What is Severe Asthma?
Severe asthma is a long-term condition where asthma symptoms remain difficult to control even with high-dose medications. People with severe asthma often experience frequent flare-ups, shortness of breath, wheezing, and inflammation in the airways that doesn’t respond well to standard treatments like inhalers or oral steroids. It can significantly impact daily life and may lead to hospital visits if not managed properly. Fortunately, advanced treatments like biologic infusion or injection therapy can help reduce inflammation, prevent flare-ups, and improve breathing when traditional therapies aren’t enough.
How is Severe Asthma Managed Through Infusion Therapy?
Biologic therapy offers a targeted and long-lasting approach for managing severe asthma, especially in patients who haven’t found relief with inhalers or standard medications. At Advanced Wellness Infusion Centers, we provide advanced treatments like Fasenra®, Xolair®, and Tremfya® in a comfortable and professionally monitored setting. Fasenra® works by reducing eosinophils—white blood cells that contribute to airway inflammation—and is typically given every eight weeks. Xolair® targets IgE antibodies to help control allergic asthma and is administered every two to four weeks. Tremfya®, while primarily approved for other inflammatory conditions, is being explored as an off-label option for certain asthma cases due to its ability to block key inflammatory proteins. Each treatment is tailored to the individual and delivered with a focus on safety, comfort, and long-term respiratory health.

What to Expect at my Severe Asthma Infusion
Severe Asthma infusions at Advanced Wellness use a very thin catheter to connect an IV line to one of the patient's veins to infuse the medication. All of our locations have a Nurse Practitioner on site and the patient is monitored continuously throughout treatment for any adverse reactions. Patients can expect the infusion to last anywhere from an hour to two hours. After the IV treatment is complete, the patient is disconnected from the IV by a nurse. During initial treatments, the patient is asked to stay on site for a short time post-treatment for observation.
In each infusion suite, Advanced Wellness provides snacks and beverages as well as streaming devices for comfort throughout the infusion appointment.
