The iron infusion process is a safe and controlled medical treatment designed to quickly replenish iron levels in individuals with iron deficiency. The procedure typically follows these steps:
-
Initial Consultation: Dr. Megan Kelly will assess your medical history, symptoms, and bloodwork to determine if an iron infusion is the appropriate treatment for you. She will discuss the potential benefits, risks, and any alternative therapies available.
-
Pre-Infusion Assessment: On the day of the infusion, your vital signs will be checked, and any allergies or medications will be reviewed to ensure the infusion is safe for you. Dr. Kelly will answer any remaining questions you may have.
-
Administration of the Infusion: The iron infusion is administered intravenously (IV). A small catheter is inserted into a vein in your arm, and iron is slowly delivered directly into your bloodstream. The duration of the infusion can vary but typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the dosage.
-
Monitoring During the Infusion: During the procedure, you will be monitored for any adverse reactions or side effects. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, but in rare cases, patients may experience mild reactions, such as headache, nausea, or dizziness.
-
Post-Infusion Care: After the infusion, you may be observed for a short time to ensure there are no immediate side effects. Once cleared, you can resume normal activities. Dr. Kelly will provide follow-up instructions, including any necessary lifestyle or dietary recommendations.
-
Follow-Up Appointments: Depending on your condition and iron levels, Dr. Kelly may schedule follow-up blood tests to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and determine if additional infusions are required.
Iron infusion therapy is a highly effective treatment for iron deficiency, providing faster results than oral supplements.
