What is iron infusion treatment?
Iron infusion treatment gives iron directly into the bloodstream through a drip. This can help when blood tests confirm iron deficiency and tablets are not working well enough, are causing side effects, or are unlikely to restore iron levels quickly enough.
The important part is getting the diagnosis right first. Tiredness, poor concentration and low energy can have different causes. That is why we start with blood testing and clinical review before deciding whether an iron infusion is appropriate.
How it works
1. Start with a blood test
We check the key markers that help show whether iron deficiency may be causing your symptoms.
2. Review your results
Your results are reviewed clearly and properly, so you understand what they mean.
3. Confirm whether treatment is needed
If iron deficiency is confirmed and an infusion is suitable, we guide you through the next step.
4. Attend for treatment
Your iron infusion is carried out in a clinical setting with appropriate checks and monitoring.
5. Know what comes next
You leave with a clear understanding of follow-up and the next stage in your care.
