What is Iron IV Therapy?
IV Iron Therapy is a medical treatment used to deliver iron directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) infusion. It is typically prescribed for individuals with iron deficiency anemia who cannot tolerate or absorb oral iron supplements effectively. This therapy helps restore iron levels quickly, improving oxygen transport in the blood, increasing energy, and reducing symptoms of anemia such as fatigue and weakness.
Who Needs IV Iron Therapy?
✅ Iron Deficiency Anemia – When oral iron supplements are ineffective or cause side effects.
✅ Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) – Patients on dialysis or with reduced kidney function often require IV iron.
✅ Gastrointestinal Disorders – Conditions like Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or gastric bypass surgery can impair iron absorption.
✅ Heavy Menstrual Bleeding – Women with excessive menstrual bleeding may develop severe iron deficiency.
✅ Post-Surgical or Postpartum Anemia – Individuals recovering from surgery or childbirth who need rapid iron replenishment.
✅ Cancer Patients – Those undergoing chemotherapy who experience anemia as a side effect.

🔹 Fatigue & Weakness – Feeling constantly tired, even after rest.
🔹 Pale Skin – A noticeable paleness in the face, lips, gums, or nails.
