Stelara® (Ustekinumab) IV Infusion Therapy in Miami

Targeted Biologic Induction for Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

Clearwell Infusion Centers offers Stelara IV induction therapy for patients starting treatment for Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Based in Miami, our outpatient facility combines private infusion suites, personalized care, and flexible scheduling to ensure a comfortable, convenient start to your treatment.

What Is Stelara?

Stelara® (ustekinumab) is an FDA-approved monoclonal antibody that blocks two inflammatory proteins, interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23 (IL-23). By targeting these immune system signals, Stelara helps reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and on the skin.

For Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, treatment begins with a one-time IV infusion, followed by maintenance subcutaneous injections every 8 weeks.
