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.
