Often Iron Deficiency Anaemia can be managed with oral supplements and an appropriate diet.
However, iron injections are necessary when:
• Oral iron cannot be taken
• Iron absorption through the gut is not possible
• Significant iron loss has occurred due to bleeding
• There is an urgent need to increase blood iron levels
Iron injections should be administered by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting, as they may have side effects and require careful monitoring.
At Glen Iris General Practice, we make the process of getting an iron infusion easy and efficient.
