Iron Infusions:
Iron deficiency is a common problem that many individuals face. Quite often, oral supplementation is not enough or not tolerated. At Active Health Portland, we can facilitate iron infusions, where iron is given through your veins to quickly replete your levels.
Before you book in, you will be directed to your GP to pick up your iron script from the pharmacy and bring it on the infusion day. Please give yourself about 2-3hrs on the day itself for preparation, infusion and monitoring post treatment. You can bring a book to read or a device, to keep yourself occupied if needed.
Iron infusions incur a small cost due to the nurses time and procedural requirements; please see table below
Saline Infusions:
We know that a lot of pregnant women suffer from severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. This often leads to dehydration from inadequate oral intake. Women can experience symptoms such as fatigue, headaches and general unwellness. For mild to moderate cases that could benefit from rehydration, we offer saline infusion through your veins to help keep yourself hydrated and feel better.
