Iron Infusion

Beverly Hills

Introduction to an Iron Infusion

Iron infusions provide a direct, efficient way to restore iron levels for individuals experiencing deficiency or anemia, especially when oral supplements have not been effective or well-tolerated. Many patients struggle with fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, or difficulty concentrating before realizing these symptoms are linked to low iron stores. An infusion offers a reliable solution because it bypasses the digestive system, delivering iron directly into the bloodstream for quicker absorption and more predictable results.

At Dr. Andre Marshall’s Beverly Hills practice, iron infusions are administered in a calm, medically supervised environment to ensure both comfort and safety. The treatment is carefully tailored to each patient’s health needs, underlying conditions, and lab values, providing a structured approach to restoring energy, improving overall wellness, and accelerating healing. Patients can expect attentive care, clear communication, and guidance designed to support both short- and long-term health improvement.

What is an Iron Infusion?

An iron infusion is a medical treatment that delivers iron intravenously to replenish depleted iron stores. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive tract and may cause stomach irritation or take months to work, an infusion delivers iron directly into the bloodstream for faster, more efficient absorption. This makes it especially beneficial for individuals with chronic anemia, malabsorption issues, or conditions that require rapid stabilization of iron levels.

The infusion is administered through an IV placed in the arm, allowing a controlled flow of iron over a set period. Depending on the type of iron used and the required dosage, an appointment may last from 30 to 60 minutes. Dr. Marshall and his team monitor vital signs and overall comfort throughout the treatment to ensure the infusion is delivered safely and effectively, offering a supportive environment for patients with varying medical needs.

Who Are the Best Candidates For an Iron Infusion?

The best candidates are individuals with confirmed iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia who have not responded adequately to oral iron supplementation. This includes patients who experience significant digestive side effects from tablets, those who cannot absorb nutrients effectively due to medical conditions, and individuals who require rapid improvement in their iron levels. Iron infusions may also be recommended before certain surgeries or medical treatments to ensure the body is properly supported.

Patients with chronic conditions, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic kidney disease, or post-bariatric surgery changes, often benefit from the efficiency of IV iron.

What Are the Benefits of an Iron Infusion?

The primary benefit of an iron infusion is the rapid improvement in iron levels, which can lead to meaningful relief from symptoms of deficiency. Patients often experience increased energy, improved physical stamina, reduced brain fog, and better exercise tolerance once their iron levels begin to normalize. Because the iron bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, it avoids the digestive side effects that commonly occur with oral supplementation, making it more comfortable for individuals sensitive to these medications.

Additionally, an infusion provides more precise dosing and more predictable absorption than oral tablets, which can vary greatly from person to person. This can lead to faster stabilization of hemoglobin levels and improved overall health. For patients whose iron deficiency is tied to chronic conditions, such as heavy periods, post-surgical recovery, gastrointestinal disorders, or dietary limitations, IV iron provides a reliable method of correction that supports long-term wellness and quality of life.

What’s the First Step?

Start with a consultation with one of our providers, where we will review your medical history, symptoms, and recent bloodwork. This evaluation helps determine whether an iron infusion is necessary and ensures the treatment is both safe and effective. If additional testing is needed to assess iron levels, our team will coordinate the appropriate labs to confirm deficiency before proceeding.

Once your needs are clearly identified, we will recommend an infusion plan, including expected dosage and the number of treatments. This thoughtful approach helps patients feel confident and informed as you take the next steps toward improving your health.

What to Expect From an Iron Infusion Treatment

During an iron infusion, patients can expect a calm, monitored experience designed to prioritize comfort and safety. After checking vital signs and reviewing any relevant medical updates, an IV line is placed into a vein, typically in the arm. The iron solution is then administered slowly to reduce the likelihood of side effects and ensure optimal absorption. Many patients relax, read, or listen to music during the infusion, as the process is typically well tolerated.

Throughout the appointment, our team closely monitors you, watching for any changes in comfort or in your reaction to the medication. Once the infusion is complete, the IV is removed, and you can return to your usual routine with minimal restrictions. You may notice mild fatigue or temporary sensitivity at the injection site, but these effects typically resolve quickly.
