Diagnosis of Iron deficiency: The patient named above has low levels of iron in their body (iron deficiency and/or anaemia).
Recommendation: The doctor has recommended treatment with a Ferinject intravenous iron infusion. The aim of the iron infusion is to boost you body's iron stores. Initially, we usually treat this condition with oral iron replacement in the form of a tablet or liquid, however this is often not effective, or causes side effects such as stomach pain and constipation. In this case, your GP has recommended an IV Iron Infusion. Dr Molloy will perform the procedure at the nursing home.
