Iron Infusions

An iron infusion helps boost the body’s iron levels more rapidly than oral supplements or dietary changes, making it an effective treatment option for severe cases of anaemia. Additionally, oral iron medications can sometimes cause side effects such as an upset stomach, making infusions a preferable alternative for some patients.

Physically, the benefits of an iron infusion can include increased energy levels and improved breathing. These effects typically begin to manifest a few weeks after your final infusion.

The duration of these benefits depends on the underlying cause of your iron deficiency anaemia and whether you’re using other treatments to maintain your iron levels. For instance, regular blood loss, such as from menstruation, can result in a recurring drop in iron levels. In such cases, the positive effects of an iron infusion can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on your individual circumstances.
