Iron Infusion in Mackay
Fast Track Your Iron Levels
If you are suffering from anaemia, your treating doctors can administer an iron infusion. Our friendly nurses will assist the GP in preparation and administration of the iron infusion. Cannulation will be performed by the GP following the administration of intravenous iron. This procedure can take up to 50 minutes as the patient requires close monitoring in the unlikely event of any adverse effects occurring.
Book an iron infusion in Mackay today with Health Hub Mackay. Iron infusions are used to treat iron deficiency anaemia, a condition where your body lacks enough iron to produce adequate haemoglobin, which is essential for transporting oxygen in the blood. When oral iron supplements fail to correct the deficiency or when a faster increase in iron levels is needed, iron infusions become necessary.
We ensure a thorough preparation process to make you comfortable and informed. Our team discusses your medical history and any potential risks. We take pride in our compassionate services for all people of all ages. Our friendly staff and state-of-the-art facilities ensure you receive the best care possible.
