They are typically recommended when you have an iron deficiency anaemia or cannot tolerate oral iron supplements.

Common signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include fatigue and weakness, brittle nails, headaches and dizziness, difficulty swallowing and a sore tongue to name a few.
Are iron infusions painful?
The procedure is generally not painful and well tolerated by our patients. You may feel a slight pinch when the IV is inserted which is normal. You can discuss pain management and your pain threshold with your doctor.
How long does an iron infusion take?
The duration of an iron infusion varies but typically lasts between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of iron preparation and your specific needs. Your doctor will explain all the specifics and preparation before your session.
Are there any side effects of iron infusions?
While side effects are rare, they can include mild nausea, headache, or skin reactions. Severe side effects are extremely rare. Your doctor will monitor your progress and ensure your wellbeing, especially on your first iron infusion.
