Please note all IV Infusions are prescribed by a doctor 🩺and adminstered by a nurse👩⚕️
Benefits of Iron Infusion:
1. Quick Increase in Iron Levels: Iron infusions can rapidly elevate iron levels in the body, which is essential for those who are severely anemic or require immediate treatment.
2. Better Absorption: Since the iron goes straight into the bloodstream, it bypasses the digestive system, making it a good option for those who experience side effects from oral iron, like nausea or constipation.
3. Convenient Treatment: For patients who find it hard to stick to oral iron regimens, iron infusions can be a simpler option, often requiring fewer doses over time.
4. Effective for Chronic Conditions: Individuals with chronic illnesses, such as kidney disease or inflammatory bowel disease, may benefit from iron infusions as they often struggle to maintain adequate iron levels.
Symptoms of Low Iron:
1. Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or weak is one of the most common symptoms of low iron.
2. Pale Skin: A noticeable paleness, especially in the face and inside the lower eyelids, can indicate low iron levels.
3. Shortness of Breath: You may experience difficulty breathing or feel out of breath during normal activities.
4. Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Low iron can cause dizziness, especially when standing up quickly.
5. Cold Hands and Feet: Poor circulation due to low iron may lead to feeling cold, particularly in the extremities.
6. Brittle Nails: Nails may become weak and break easily.
7. Headaches: Frequent headaches can also be a symptom of iron deficiency.
