Iron Infusions

An Iron infusion may be suggested by your Doctor to improve your iron levels. Low iron levels can be noted in your blood test and it’s called an iron deficiency. It is very common to see Iron deficiency especially with adolescent girls, pregnant women, people on restricted diets, athletes, and even those who had weight loss surgery. Although Oral iron replacement with iron tablets is commonly used to treat iron deficiency, many patients prefer an IV treatment not just because of the speed of action but because tablets may not be well absorbed or patients may suffer from ongoing side-effects such as constipation. Iron infusions can be performed over the course of 15 minutes.
