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 quick way to increase iron levels in the blood, especially when the deficiency is significant, and oral supplements are ineffective, intolerable, or too slow to act.
Service is provided at the following addresses:

What are the benefits?
- Quickly restores iron reserves
Compared to dietary supplements or changes in diet, intravenous infusion allows for quicker results – iron concentration in the blood increases within days, and clinical effects are felt within weeks. - Reduces anemia symptoms
Iron deficiency causes fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and concentration problems. The 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
- 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
- For other indications 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 complete blood test, iron, and ferritin concentration determination is necessary. During the consultation, a family doctor or specialist, after evaluating the blood test results, will determine if an iron infusion is needed and prescribe an individually tailored dose and number of infusions. Each patient's needs are different – in some cases, one infusion is sufficient, while in others, several may be required.
A doctor's consultation is required before the injection procedure. REGISTER
