Iron Infusion

If you're struggling with iron deficiency or anemia, our clinic offers iron infusion therapy as a treatment option. Iron infusions providing a direct way to help restore iron levels, as determined by your GP, which may help improve energy levels in people with confirmed iron deficiency.
Who Needs Iron Infusion?Iron deficiency can cause symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath, and it’s a common issue for many people. However, not everyone is suitable for iron infusion therapy. Our experienced GP will assess your condition to determine if this treatment is right for you. You'll need to have blood tests beforehand to measure your iron levels and confirm the deficiency. Additionally, your doctor may recommend further investigations to determine the underlying cause of your iron deficiency, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your care.
What to Expect During an Iron InfusionDuring the procedure, iron is delivered directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line, allowing the iron to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. The infusion typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, and you'll be closely monitored throughout the process to ensure your comfort and safety.
Benefits of Iron InfusionFor people with confirmed iron deficiency, correcting iron levels may help improve symptoms such as fatigue over time. Individual response varies. It may be considered for people who cannot tolerate or have not responded to oral iron, based on your GP's assessment.
Aftercare and Follow-UpPost-infusion, most patients can resume normal activities right away. We'll provide you with aftercare instructions and schedule any necessary follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that your iron levels are stable. Book an assessment to see if iron infusion is a suitable option for you.
