Iron Infusions:
Iron deficiency is a commonly diagnosed condition. Quite often, oral supplementation is not tolerated or is insufficient in replenishing iron levels. When this happens your doctor may suggest an iron infusion. This is where iron is given through your veins to quickly replete your levels.
Before you book in, your GP will provide you with a iron script from the pharmacy. Please bring this on your scheduled 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.
Iron infusions are not fully medicare subsidized. Therefore a small cost is charged due to the nurses time and procedural requirements; please see table below.
Saline Infusions:
During pregnancy, many women may suffer from severe nausea and vomiting. Women can experience symptoms such as fatigue, headaches and general unwellness due to ongoing dehydration. For mild to moderate cases that could benefit from re-hydration, we offer saline infusion through your veins to help keep yourself hydrated and feel better.
