Intravenous iron therapy
Iron infusion – is a treatment method where iron supplements are administered directly into a vein via a drip. It is an effective and quick way to increase the iron levels in the blood, especially when the deficiency is significant and oral supplements are ineffective, intolerable, or act too slowly.

How many ampoules do I need?
A complete blood count, iron, and ferritin concentration assessment is necessary. During the consultation, the family doctor or specialist, after evaluating the blood test results, will determine if an iron infusion is necessary and will prescribe an individually tailored dose and number of infusions. Each patient's needs vary – in some cases, one infusion is sufficient, in other cases, several may be required.
A doctor's consultation is necessary before the injection procedure. REGISTER
