Counseling Patients on IV vs SC Administration

Panelists discuss how patient counseling and shared decision-making are central to selecting between intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) administration. They emphasize transparency in communicating differences in treatment time, comfort, and setting while respecting patient autonomy and preference. The panel notes that SC delivery often aligns with patient-centered care values by reducing anxiety, travel burden, and treatment fatigue, leading to higher satisfaction and adherence.
