Iron Infusion
Iron infusions are usually used to treat iron deficiency anaemia. This deficiency is typically treated with dietary changes and iron supplements, but in some cases, your GP might recommend iron infusions instead. If you are visiting our practice for an iron infusion you can view our preparation instructions below.
