An IV iron infusion delivers iron directly into the bloodstream to rapidly correct iron deficiency when oral supplements aren’t effective or tolerated.
Patients with iron deficiency or iron deficiency anaemia, especially those with heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnancy, chronic kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, pre/post-operative iron deficiency, or oncology-related anaemia.
IV iron is given through a small needle into a vein by a trained clinician in a fully equipped clinic. Infusions usually last 15–60 minutes depending on the preparation used.
Yes. IV iron infusions are generally safe when administered by experienced healthcare professionals, though mild side effects like headache or nausea may occur. Serious reactions are rare.
Many patients achieve full correction in a single visit with formulations like Monofer®. Some may require multiple doses depending on iron levels and individual needs.
Blood tests include Full Blood Count (FBC), ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), and sometimes CRP, kidney, and liver function tests to confirm iron deficiency and safety.
IV iron may not be suitable for patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to iron, iron overload disorders, active infections, decompensated liver disease, or anaemia not caused by iron deficiency.
IV iron is generally safe after the first trimester, but specialist guidance is required during early pregnancy.
Many patients notice improved energy and reduced fatigue within 1–2 weeks after their infusion, though full iron restoration may take 6–8 weeks.
You can book a consultation by contacting our Leicester clinic directly. A clinician will review your blood tests, medical history, and recommend a personalised treatment plan.
Symptom checker
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please book an appointment with us. Symptoms can vary from person to person and from condition to condition.A proper diagnosis can only be made through a thorough medical examination.
Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Are you feeling unusually tired or fatigued?
Persistent fatigue and low energy are common signs of iron deficiency. Even after resting, you may feel unusually weak, struggle with daily activities, or feel exhausted quickly. Low iron reduces oxygen delivery to muscles and organs, causing persistent tiredness.
Do you notice paleness in your skin, lips, or nail beds?
Pale skin, lips, or nail beds can indicate low haemoglobin levels due to iron deficiency. Haemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood, and when iron is low, blood flow to the skin decreases, causing a noticeable paleness, especially in the face, inner eyelids, or fingertips.
Are you experiencing shortness of breath or rapid heartbeat?
Iron deficiency can reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood, making you feel breathless even during mild activity. Your heart may beat faster to compensate, causing palpitations or a racing heartbeat. These symptoms signal your body is struggling to get enough oxygen.
Do you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or have headaches?
Frequent dizziness, lightheadedness, or tension headaches may be caused by iron deficiency. Low iron affects oxygen delivery to the brain, leading to reduced focus, brain fog, and occasional fainting sensations. Symptoms can worsen during standing or physical exertion.
Are your nails or hair brittle, thinning, or breaking easily?
Brittle nails, hair loss, or slow hair growth are common in iron deficiency. Iron is vital for healthy cell growth and tissue repair. When iron is low, your body prioritises oxygen delivery to essential organs, leaving nails and hair weak, fragile, or thinning over time.
Have you noticed unusual cravings, such as ice, dirt, or starch (pica)?
Pica is the craving for non-food items, often linked to iron deficiency. Eating ice, clay, or starch may seem unusual, but it can indicate low iron levels affecting brain chemistry. Pica is a warning sign that iron supplementation or clinical assessment may be needed.
