Iron infusion services at Sandy Hill Medical Centre are provided by independent medical practitioners for patients with confirmed iron deficiency where oral iron is unsuitable or has not been effective.
Iron plays a key role in red blood cell production. Low iron levels may contribute to symptoms such as ongoing fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, or reduced concentration. In some cases, intravenous iron may be recommended to restore iron levels more efficiently.
An iron infusion involves administering iron through a controlled intravenous drip under medical supervision. This approach allows iron stores to be replenished more quickly than oral supplements and may be appropriate for patients with iron deficiency anaemia, certain medical conditions, or ongoing iron loss.
Before treatment, the doctor will assess your medical history and review relevant blood test results to determine whether an iron infusion is clinically appropriate. Potential risks, side effects, and aftercare will be discussed during your consultation.
Iron infusions are offered by appointment, and eligibility is determined by the treating doctor. To discuss whether this option is suitable for you, please book a consultation with an independent doctor consulting at Sandy Hill Medical Centre.
