Intravenous iron therapy
Iron infusion is a treatment method where iron supplements are administered directly into the vein through a drip. It is an effective and rapid way to increase iron levels in the blood, especially when the deficiency is severe, and oral supplements are ineffective, intolerable, or act 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
- Rapidly restores iron reserves
Compared to dietary supplements or dietary changes, intravenous infusion achieves results faster – iron concentration in the blood increases in a few days, and the clinical effect is felt within weeks. - Reduces anemia symptoms
Iron deficiency causes fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and concentration difficulties. The infusion helps quickly restore oxygen transport in the body, often resulting in improved well-being, more energy, and easier breathing for patients.
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 with reduced physical capacity due to iron deficiency
- Other indications as prescribed by a doctor
How is the procedure performed?
The infusion is administered into a vein, lasting about 60-120 minutes.
How many ampoules do I need?
A general blood test, determination of iron and ferritin concentration is necessary. During the consultation, a 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 differ – in some cases, one infusion is sufficient, in others, several may be required.
A doctor's consultation is necessary before the injection procedure. REGISTER
