Iron Infusion is an IV service in which iron is administered intravenously by a licensed nurse under physician supervision. It is offered for adult patients in whom iron repletion has been determined to be clinically appropriate. Iron infusion is a medical treatment with potential serious side effects, including infusion reactions and rare anaphylaxis. Eligibility requires a clinical evaluation, including review of recent labs (such as ferritin, transferrin saturation, and CBC) ordered or accepted by your provider.
About this service
Patients seeking iron infusion should have a confirmed indication for IV iron from a licensed provider. Self-referral without clinical labs is not appropriate. A licensed provider will review your medical history, labs, and any prior infusion reactions before treatment is approved.
What your provider may discuss during consultation
- Whether IV iron is clinically appropriate for you based on labs and symptoms
- Alternative options (oral iron, dietary counseling) and their relative trade-offs
- Risks, including infusion reactions, hypotension, and rare anaphylaxis
- Monitoring before, during, and after the infusion
Individual response varies. We do not promise specific results.
