Anaemia Treatment

Medically supervised iron and B12 IV therapy for anaemia

Anaemia causes debilitating fatigue, breathlessness, poor concentration and reduced immunity. For patients with iron-deficiency or B12-deficiency anaemia, IV therapy delivers the key haemopoietic nutrients directly into the bloodstream — producing faster, more reliable results than oral supplementation, particularly where absorption is impaired.

We manage iron-deficiency anaemia (including post-partum), B12 and folate deficiency, and support anaemia secondary to chronic disease, always working in coordination with haematology referrals where needed.

Key Benefits

Faster ferritin and haemoglobin restoration vs oral iron
Avoids GI side effects of oral iron supplementation
B12 and folate delivery for megaloblastic anaemia
Suitable for patients who cannot absorb oral supplements

Is This Treatment Right For You?

Women with iron-deficiency anaemia from heavy periods or post-partum
Patients with B12 or folate deficiency
Those who cannot tolerate oral iron or have absorption issues

What to Expect

Blood Testing

Full blood count, ferritin, B12 and folate measured.

Diagnosis & Protocol

Type and severity of anaemia determines infusion type and dose.

IV Infusion

Iron or B12 infusion administered under monitoring over 30–60 minutes.

Follow-Up Testing

Blood count rechecked 4–6 weeks post-infusion to confirm response.

Recovery & Aftercare

No downtime; mild fatigue or a brief drop in blood pressure is rare but monitored on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IV iron better than oral iron?

For patients with absorption problems, severe deficiency or those who cannot tolerate oral iron, IV iron is significantly more effective and better tolerated.

How many infusions will I need?

Often 1–2 infusions suffice for iron deficiency; B12 maintenance schedules vary by deficiency cause.
