Your body needs iron to carry oxygen around and keep you feeling healthy and energetic. Iron comes from your diet and is absorbed by your body to replace what’s used every day or lost through blood.
When iron levels are low, you might feel tired, weak, or notice changes in your mood or muscles. If this happens, your doctor may suggest iron treatment to help restore your levels. This could be in the form of tablets you take by mouth or a quick iron infusion at the clinic. Both options help get your iron back to healthy levels so you can feel your best.
Iron Infusion
Iron treatment could be oral iron tablets or an intravenous iron infusion, which is available at Whitehorse Medical Centre if your doctor thinks it’s right for you. Talk to your doctor if you’re concerned about your iron levels or want to know more about the benefits and possible side effects of an intravenous iron infusion—they can help determine the best treatment for you.
