The IV Edit
The Iron
- Iron
An IV iron infusion for replenishing iron when a clinician identifies a medical need. Iron is needed to make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells. Blood tests, the cause of iron deficiency, and your medical history guide the choice of treatment and monitoring.

Can I choose iron simply because I feel tired?
Fatigue alone does not establish a need for iron. Review the cause, relevant results and treatment alternatives with a clinician before considering replacement.
What should I review before deciding?
Ask about the exact treatment, risks, alternatives, recovery and full cost. An assessment helps determine whether an option is appropriate for you.
