Iron Infusions
in Melbourne

Iron infusions are available at Health Hub Hobsons Bay. Iron helps your blood carry oxygen and supports your energy and immune system. When iron is very low, or tablets haven’t worked, an iron infusion can replace it directly through a vein. Our GPs can assess whether an infusion is right for you and arrange it at the clinic

When might an iron infusion be recommended?

Your GP may discuss an infusion if you have:

• Iron deficiency or iron deficiency anaemia that has not improved with oral iron
• Side effects from iron tablets such as nausea, constipation or stomach pain
• Ongoing blood loss, for example from a bowel condition or heavy periods
• A condition that affects iron absorption, including after gastric bypass surgery

An infusion is not suitable for everyone, and your GP will check the cause of your low iron first.
