Iron Infusions
An iron infusion delivers iron directly into a vein through a drip. Your doctor may recommend one if blood tests show low iron and tablets haven't worked, can't be tolerated, or your iron levels need to be raised more quickly.
Initial consultation
You'll see a doctor at the Centre first. They will review your blood tests and medical history, check whether an infusion is right for you, explain the benefits and risks, and ask for your consent.

Things to know: iron infusions carry some risks. These include a small risk of permanent brown staining of the skin where the drip goes in, and allergic reactions. Your doctor will go through these with you before treatment.
