Iron Infusions

Iron Infusions can be used for the treatment of patients with iron deficiency and anaemia. Iron infusions are given via an intravenous drip and replenish the iron stores in the body.

Initial Consult

You will need an initial consult with your regular GP. Your doctor will discuss your symptoms and make their recommendations. Your doctor will also arrange a blood test to check your current iron levels. If appropriate, your doctor will prescribe the iron for you and discuss the benefits and any possible side effects of the procedure.

Procedure

This will be an extended appointment (1hr-1.5hrs) and will be with the doctor and practice nurse. You will be consented for the procedure and the IV Iron will be administered. The practice nurse will observe you for the duration of your appointment.
