Often Iron Deficiency Anaemia can be managed with oral supplements and an appropriate diet


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.
