FAQs
What is an iron infusion, and why might we need one?
An iron infusion is a medical procedure where iron is delivered directly into our bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. We might need an iron infusion if we have iron deficiency anaemia or if our body can’t absorb enough iron from food or supplements. It helps boost our iron levels quickly and effectively.
How long does an iron infusion take?
Typically, an iron infusion takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Nevertheless, we should also consider additional time for pre-infusion assessments and post-infusion monitoring, so it’s a good idea to set aside a couple of hours for the whole process.
Are there any side effects we should be aware of?
While most of us tolerate iron infusions well, some common side effects can include mild headache, nausea, or a metallic taste in our mouth. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur, so we will always monitor our reactions during and after the infusion to guarantee our safety.
How often do we need to have iron infusions?
The frequency of iron infusions depends on our individual health needs and the severity of our iron deficiency. Our healthcare provider will assess our situation and determine the appropriate schedule for us, which could range from a single session to multiple infusions over time.
What should we do before and after an iron infusion?
Before our infusion, it’s helpful to stay hydrated and have a light meal. Afterwards, we should rest for a short while at the clinic to confirm we feel fine before leaving. It’s also wise to avoid strenuous activities for the rest of the day to give our body time to adjust.
