InjectRX Wellness: Your Destination for Excellent IV Iron Infusion Therapy in Florida

Low iron levels are typically associated with anemia. This condition happens when the body doesn’t get enough iron to keep producing hemoglobin which can cause uncomfortable symptoms that interfere with your daily activities. Here are some common signs that you have iron deficiency anemia: 

• Chronic fatigue
• Weakened immune system 
• Shortness of breath 
• Increased sensitivity to cold 
• Having pale skin 
• Rapid heartbeats 
• Headaches 
• Dizziness
• Brittle or cracked nails 

Iron is one of the essential minerals that make up hemoglobin, which is the substance in red blood cells that move oxygen throughout the body. It’s also found in myoglobin and helps transport and store oxygen in the muscle tissues. Without sufficient iron supply, your body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells which can affect certain bodily functions.

You can get your daily dose of iron from consuming iron-rich foods or increasing iron absorption from vitamin C sources. Oral iron supplements can also help balance your iron levels to a healthy amount. 

Getting an IV infusion is another excellent option for supplementing the amount of iron in your body. An iron infusion therapy is administered directly to a vein which helps you better absorb the mineral and quickly elevate its levels. At InjectRX Wellness, we can provide you with a customized preparation of Iron Drips to make sure that you are getting the dose that you need

Before your first iron IV treatment, our specialist will first conduct a quick examination of your symptoms and medical records. You’ll also be required to have a blood test to check your iron levels and determine how many doses of infusion you need. 

A typical session of IV therapy can last for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how many liquid irons will be administered. The iron drip requires an intravenous line connected to one of your veins. The iron will slowly enter your system through the vein until it reaches your bloodstream. 

Our team will closely monitor your condition throughout the procedure and make sure that you’re not experiencing any side effects. After the whole IV drip is finished, you can go home or return to your normal activities without any downtime. 

Q: What are the side effects of IV iron infusion treatment?

A: A patient may experience mild hypersensitivity reactions, injection site pain, swelling, redness, bruising, joint pain, and headaches. Most side effects are temporary and can go away on their own, while others, such as acute pain or headaches, can be managed by taking medication. 

Q: How often do you need to receive intravenous iron therapy? 

A: This will depend on the severity of your iron deficiency anemia. Most people typically need 1 to 3 sessions of IV therapy to improve their symptoms and restore appropriate iron levels. It can also depend on the dose and type of iron product that you’ll be receiving. Our specialists at InjectRX Wellness can tailor the dose, preparation, and frequency of your iron infusion depending on your specific needs. 

Q: Who are good candidates for an iron infusion?

A: IV iron therapy is usually recommended for patients who are in cancer care, have iron deficiency anemia, have gastrointestinal issues, have severe blood loss, and those who can’t properly absorb iron.
