Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in Australia. If you have an iron deficiency, it means you have low levels of iron and essential minerals in your body.<\/p>

The body needs iron to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen through the blood to all of the cells in your body. The body cannot make iron itself, so it is important to treat iron deficiency to bring your levels back to normal.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

An intravenous iron infusion is a simple procedure performed in our consulting rooms by our Practice Nurse. It involves a needle being placed into a vein in your arm for the iron solution to drip (infuse) into your blood stream.<\/p>

Each treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, and you will be monitored closely during this time.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Fe (iron) infusions are used when a patient has had blood tests performed that prove iron deficiency and\/or anaemia.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
