Iron is essential for energy, concentration and overall wellbeing. When iron levels run low and tablets are not enough, an iron infusion can restore your iron quickly and effectively, right here at St Mary Medical Centre.
What is an iron infusion?
An iron infusion delivers iron directly into your bloodstream through a small drip in the arm. It is a safe and effective way to top up low iron stores when oral iron supplements have not worked, are not tolerated, or when iron needs to be replaced quickly. The appointment is carried out in our rooms under the supervision of our doctors and nursing team.
Who might need one
Iron infusions can help people with iron deficiency or iron deficiency anaemia, those who cannot absorb iron well from tablets, people who experience side effects from oral iron, and those with heavy periods, certain medical conditions, or increased iron needs during pregnancy. Your doctor will review your blood tests and history to confirm an infusion is right for you.
