Infusion Services / Iron
Iron
When iron tablets are not tolerated, not absorbed, or not working quickly enough, iron can be given directly into a vein. Depending on the product, a course may be a single infusion or several shorter ones.
Blood tests before and after help your physician judge how much you need and how well it is working.
