Revitalize Your Health with Iron Infusion Therapy
Iron infusion therapy is a medical treatment involving the intravenous (IV) administration of iron directly into the bloodstream. This method rapidly replenishes iron stores, effectively correcting iron-deficiency anemia and alleviating associated symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. It's particularly beneficial for individuals who cannot absorb or tolerate oral iron supplements.
Iron infusion therapy provides significant benefits:
Rapidly corrects iron deficiency and resolves anemia symptoms.
More effective and quicker than oral supplements, particularly in patients unable to tolerate oral iron.
Ensures rapid replenishment of iron stores, improving symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.
Preparation:
Your healthcare professional assesses your iron needs based on body weight and hemoglobin levels.
Inform us of any allergies, medical conditions, or medications you're taking.
You may be advised to pause oral iron supplements approximately one week before the infusion.
Administration:
IV Insertion: A small catheter is inserted into a vein in your arm or hand.
Test Dose (if needed): Older formulations may require a small test dose to monitor reactions.
Iron Infusion: Iron is delivered directly into your bloodstream through an IV line, typically taking 15–30 minutes.
Monitoring: Observation for approximately 30 minutes post-infusion to ensure safety.
Follow-up Treatments
Treatment varies depending on individual needs, either as a single large-dose infusion or multiple smaller doses. Follow-up blood tests confirm improvement.
Consider IV iron if you:
Have severe anemia or require rapid correction.
Cannot tolerate oral iron supplements.
Suffer from gastrointestinal disorders affecting iron absorption.
Have chronic kidney disease or are on dialysis.
Receive erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.
Experience significant blood loss or are preparing for surgery.
