Can anyone obtain an Iron Infusion from Tayside Complete Health?
You require either a referral from a healthcare provider (eg your GP) or you would need to see a clinician at TCH prior to being accepted for an infusion. You will also need up to date blood tests to help determine the dose.
Is the dose the same for everyone?
No the dose of iron is calculated based on your blood tests and your weight.
How is the iron delivered?
Depending on the dose you need the iron will be delivered over one or two visits to the clinic. Each visit will take around 1-2 hours. We then suggest a repeat blood test in 6 months. You may require further infusions in time depending on the cause of your iron deficiency.
