Restoring Your Energy and Vitality
At Epping Family Doctors, we offer iron infusion therapy to help treat iron deficiency anaemia and restore your energy levels. If you are experiencing fatigue, weakness, or other symptoms related to low iron, our iron infusion service provides a quick and effective solution.
Key Components of Our Iron Infusion Services
What is an Iron Infusion?
- An iron infusion involves the direct administration of iron into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) drip. This method allows your body to absorb iron more quickly, especially when oral iron supplements aren’t effective or suitable.
Who Should Consider Iron Infusion?
- Individuals with diagnosed iron deficiency anaemia.
- Those who have trouble absorbing iron from food or supplements due to digestive conditions (like celiac disease or Crohn’s disease).
- People who require a rapid boost in iron levels, such as before or after surgery, or for pregnant women with low iron levels.
Benefits of Iron Infusion
- Rapid Results: Unlike oral supplements, which can take weeks to show effects, an iron infusion typically restores your iron levels quickly, often within a single treatment.
- Improved Energy: Iron is essential for transporting oxygen in the blood, and replenishing your iron stores can help relieve symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
- Fewer Side Effects: For some people, iron infusions are a preferred option due to the reduced risk of gastrointestinal side effects, such as constipation or stomach upset, which can occur with oral iron.
What to Expect During an Iron Infusion
- Comfortable Procedure: The infusion takes place in a comfortable, relaxed environment and usually takes about 30–60 minutes.
- Monitor and Aftercare: Our team will monitor you throughout the procedure for safety. Afterward, you may feel immediate relief, though it may take a few days for full benefits to be noticed.
Ongoing Support and Follow-Up
- Regular Monitoring: Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your iron levels and ensure that you’re responding well to treatment.
- Dietary Advice: Our team will provide guidance on iron-rich foods to help maintain healthy iron levels once the infusion is complete.
Let Epping Family Doctors support you in restoring your iron levels and improving your overall health with our safe and effective iron infusion therapy.
