Are you always feeling tired and lethargic?
If you are feeling generally tired and fatigued anaemia may be the reason. It can also result in poor concentration, dizziness, and light-headedness.
Low iron may be from a bad diet but there are other causes that need to be checked.
For this reason an appointment with your doctor to discuss low iron levels is needed.
We have performed iron infusions for many years and it is done by an intravenous solution to treat it. This kind of solution is used when oral supplements cannot be used or will be ineffective. An iron infusion may be necessary if:
- Your ferritin level is extremely low (<10)
- You cannot tolerate oral iron supplements
- You have a malabsorption syndrome
Iron infusions typically take 20 minutes. However, for set up time and post-infusion monitoring, please allow 1 hour for the entire procedure.
