If you’re anaemic (a condition caused by a lack of haemoglobin/red blood cells in the blood) or have trouble tolerating iron supplements, you could benefit from an iron infusion. Iron is an essential mineral assisting the body to carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, amongst other important functions.
An iron deficiency is often treatable with simple dietary changes or with the addition of a daily supplement. In some cases though, an iron infusion might be recommended by your GP to give you a faster, more immediate result.
An iron infusion delivers iron directly into the bloodstream through a vein. The procedure itself takes 45- minutes and is run by our doctors and nursing team, with the ease of booking in at a clinic.
Patients are required to see their doctor first for an appointment in order to assess most recent blood test results and prescribe the iron required in order for them to bring with them on the day of the iron infusion. Your doctor will also discuss the risks, benefits and possible side effects to having an iron infusion.
