Intravenous Iron Replacement

About the Treatment

Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency is very common in women, mainly due to heavy periods, pregnancy, diets low in iron, or difficulty with absorption. When iron levels are low, it can cause fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath on exertion, paleness, hair loss, brittle nails, headaches, difficulty concentrating and, in more advanced cases, anemia. Intravenous replacement is indicated when tests confirm the deficiency and oral iron is not enough, is not well tolerated, or when levels need to be restored more quickly. At Femi Saúde, the infusion is given at the clinic, with medical prescription and follow-up, in a comfortable and safe environment.
