If you are anaemic or have trouble tolerating iron supplements then you could greatly benefit from an iron infusion. Iron is an essential mineral that assists with many important bodily functions.

Iron helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Therefore, when the iron levels are low you may experience extreme fatigue and may not be able to complete all the normal daily functions.

Lack of iron can be dangerous and cause many side effects including:

• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Infections due to low immunity
• Feeling cold
• Paleness

How does an iron infusion work? This procedure is quite straightforward and takes approximately 30 minutes. The iron infusion is administered intravenously and is then attached to a drip containing iron mixed with saline. This works to restore the iron levels to a healthy range much faster than supplements.

How do I book an iron infusion? You can easily book an appointment with one of the doctors in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast to do an iron infusion. Please note there is no Bulk Billing available for iron infusions but if you have one of the concession cards that is health care card or pension card you will be charged a lower fee than the other private fee paying patients. The team works together to help treat those who may be anaemic or low in iron levels.
