Iron Infusions
Are you experiencing symptoms of low iron levels or iron deficiency aneamia? Symptoms include fatigue and weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, headaches and dizziness, cold hands and feet, restless leg syndrome or craving for non-food substances. An iron IV infusion can be a rapid solution to raise your iron levels and eliminate these symptoms.
Compared to oral iron supplements, IV iron offers several advantages, including superior absorption rates, gentler on the stomach, no constipation, and is faster-acting. A blood test is needed before the infusion to check your haemoglobin and ferritin levels. This is done to evaluate your iron levels and determine if an iron infusion is necessary.
An iron infusion may be beneficial for people with conditions such as menorrhagia (heavy periods), pregnancy (with iron level checks at 28, 34 weeks, and postpartum), pre-operative patients, tachycardia, pre-pregnancy and other chronic diseases.

Pre-iron Prep | R800
A pre-iron prep vitamin infusion helps your body absorb and use iron better. This infusion is given 1-2 weeks before an iron infusion to optimize your body’s ability to absorb and use iron. The infusion contains magnesium, vitamins B and C, as well as a key addition of immediately absorbed folate, which work together to promote iron absorption and keep iron levels higher for longer.
