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 iron levels in the blood, especially when there is a significant deficiency, and oral supplements are ineffective, intolerable, or work too slowly.

Benefits
- Quickly replenishes iron stores
Compared to dietary supplements or dietary changes, intravenous infusion allows for faster results – iron concentration in the blood increases within a few days, and clinical effects are felt within a few weeks. - Reduces anemia symptoms
Iron deficiency causes fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and concentration disturbances. Infusion helps quickly restore oxygen transport in the body, so patients often notice improved well-being, more energy, and easier breathing.
Who is it recommended for?
- Those with iron deficiency anemia
- Experiencing chronic fatigue, weakness, dizziness
- With absorption disorders (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's disease)
- Athletes experiencing reduced physical capacity due to iron deficiency
- Other indications as prescribed by a doctor
How is the procedure performed?
The infusion is dripped into a vein, duration – about 60-120 minutes.
How many vials do I need?
A complete blood test, iron, and ferritin concentration determination are necessary. During the consultation, a family doctor or specialist will evaluate the blood test results, determine if an iron infusion is needed, 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 required.
A doctor's consultation is necessary before the injection procedure. REGISTER
