Intravenous iron therapy
Iron infusion is a treatment method where iron supplements are administered directly into a vein through a drip. This is an effective and fast way to increase iron levels in the blood, especially when the deficiency is severe and oral supplements are ineffective, intolerable, or work too slowly.
The service is provided at the following addresses:
- Vilnius: Ozo g. 18 (PC Ozas, II floor); Švitrigailos g. 11B
- Kaunas: Kęstučio g. 38;
- Šiauliai: Gumbinės g. 33C.
Benefits
- Quickly restores iron reserves
Compared to dietary supplements or diet changes, intravenous infusion allows for faster results - the concentration of iron in the blood increases within a few days, and the clinical effect is felt within a few weeks. - Reduces anemia symptoms
Iron deficiency causes fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and concentration problems. Infusion helps quickly restore oxygen transport in the body, so patients often notice improved well-being, more energy, and easier breathing.
Recommended for
- Those with iron deficiency anemia
- Those experiencing chronic fatigue, weakness, dizziness
- Those with absorption disorders (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's disease)
- Athletes with reduced physical capacity due to iron deficiency
- Other indications as prescribed by a doctor
Procedure
The infusion is administered into a vein, lasting about 60-120 minutes.
How many ampoules do I need?
A complete blood test, iron, and ferritin concentration assessment is required. During the consultation, the family doctor or specialist, after evaluating the blood test results, will determine if an iron infusion is necessary and prescribe an individually tailored dose and number of infusions. Each patient's needs vary - in some cases, one infusion is sufficient, while in others, several may be needed.
A doctor's consultation is necessary before the injection procedure. REGISTER
