IV treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease plays a critical role in managing symptoms, reducing inflammation, and improving the quality of life for those living with IBD. At Vital Care of Roanoke, we understand how complex and overwhelming this diagnosis can be. That’s why we offer personalized infusion therapy in a compassionate, clinically safe setting to help patients navigate their treatment journey with confidence and support.
Millions of Americans suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Although there is no cure, advancements in biologic IV therapies, such as Stelara, Tremfya, Entyvio, and Renflexis, offer hope for patients seeking effective and targeted treatment options. Understanding how these therapies work can empower patients and caregivers to make informed care decisions.
How Biologic IV Treatments Work for IBD
Biologic IV therapies are designed to target specific components of the immune system that drive inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. IIV treatment of inflammatory Bowel Disease helps to manage moderate to severe IBD when conventional treatments like steroids or Amino salicylates are not enough.
Stelara (ustekinumab) works by targeting two specific proteins—IL-12 and IL-23—that play a key role in inflammatory signaling. By blocking these proteins, Stelara can reduce inflammation and help patients maintain remission over time.
Entyvio (vedolizumab) is a gut-selective biologic, which means it focuses on blocking white blood cells from entering the gut tissue and causing inflammation. This targeted approach often leads to fewer systemic side effects and is well-suited for long-term treatment plans.
Tremfya
Renflexis, a biosimilar to Remicade (infliximab), blocks tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), another driver of inflammation. This medication has shown strong effectiveness in reducing symptoms and achieving remission in many IBD patients.
Each of these therapies is administered through an IV infusion and monitored closely by trained clinical staff to ensure safety, proper dosing, and positive patient outcomes.

Managing Expectations and Treatment Outcomes
While IV therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease can be highly effective, it’s important for patients to understand that results vary.
