What happens when I have an iron infusion?
An iron infusion is a medical treatment where iron is delivered directly into your bloodstream through a vein (intravenously, or IV). It's usually given when oral iron supplements haven’t worked, aren’t tolerated, or when iron levels need to be raised quickly.
Blood tests are usually done to confirm iron deficiency. If you doctor prescribes an iron infusion, you will purchase the prescription from your chemist. The dose will given in our treatment room under the supervision of a nurse and your doctor and takes about an hour.
An IV line will be placed in your arm and the dose will be infused slowly. You will need to stay for a short while after the infusion to ensure that there is no adverse reaction.
To discuss your suitability for an iron infusion, please make an appointment with your GP.
