Overview

Certain infections require intravenous antibiotic delivery for effective treatment. At Reddy Urgent Care, IV antibiotics are administered when a provider determines that oral antibiotics are insufficient or when the infection requires faster systemic delivery. This is a provider-assessed, clinically indicated service.

Symptoms We Treat

  • Severe skin infection or cellulitis not responding to oral antibiotics
  • Infection requiring faster systemic antibiotic delivery
  • Provider-determined need for intravenous antibiotic therapy
  • Infection with systemic involvement
