Iron Infusions

Iron Infusions Explained

Fast relief from iron deficiency and fatigue.

  • Low iron levels can leave you feeling constantly tired, foggy, or short of breath.
  • Iron infusions deliver iron directly into your bloodstream to quickly restore low levels. Depending on your doctor’s recommendation.
  • You may be prescribed Ferinject® (ferric carboxymaltose) or Monofer® (ferric derisomaltose)—both are TGA-approved treatments for iron-deficiency anaemia.
  • Infusions are usually well tolerated and provide a faster response than oral supplements.
