Profile: Pawtuxet Valley Prescription & Surgical Center, Inc is a multi-faceted vertically integrated medical care, product, prescription and service provider. We specialize in antibiotic therapy, chelation, chemotherapy, hydration therapy, immunoglobulin therapy, lupron, pain management, and TPN parenteral nutrition. The chelation therapy is the administration of agents to remove heavy metals from the body by making several chemical bonds with metal ions, thus rendering them much less chemically reactive. IV chelation can be ordered as a short or long term therapy, and is easily infused in the home setting by a qualified infusion nurse. The TPN parental nutrition is a total intravenous nutritional support program which supplies glucose, protein, vitamins, electrolytes, trace elements, and fats to maintain the body's growth, development, and tissue repair which may be required as a result of many illnesses. It is given via a central line because of the high concentration of dextrose and hyperosmolarity of the solution which can be achieved in the home care setting utilizing either an ambulatory infusion pump or a pole mounted pump. This therapy is administered either continuously or over a period of 10-14 hours while the patient sleeps.
