Iron deficiency is very common, especially among women and in people who have a diet that is low in iron. The following groups of people are at highest risk for iron-deficiency anemia:
Vegetarians, vegans, and other people whose diets do not include iron-rich foods (Iron from vegetables, even those that are iron-rich, is not absorbed as well as iron from meat, poultry, and fish.)
People with peptic ulcer disease
Women who menstruate heavily
People who have undergone major surgery or physical trauma
People with gastrointestinal diseases such as celiac disease (sprue), inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis, or Crohn disease
People who have undergone bariatric procedures, especially gastric bypass operations
IV Iron Infusion may be necessary to treat iron deficiency in patients who do not absorb iron well in the gastrointestinal tract, patients with severe iron deficiency or chronic blood loss, patients who are receiving supplemental erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates blood production, or patients who cannot tolerate oral iron. IV iron comes in different preparations:
Iron dextran
Iron sucrose
Ferric gluconate
At Zen Luxe Medspa and IV Lounge, we use the iron sucrose formulation. Large doses of iron can be given at one time when using iron dextran. Iron sucrose and ferric gluconate require more frequent doses spread over several weeks. Some patients may have an allergic reaction to IV iron, so a test dose may be administered before the first infusion. Allergic reactions are more common with iron dextran and may necessitate switching to a different preparation. Severe side effects other than allergic reactions are rare and include urticaria (hives), pruritus (itching), and muscle and joint pain.
Patients may require one to three doses one week apart, or longer, depending on the degree of iron deficiency anemia. Each Venofer® infusion is given over a period of 3-4 hours.
You do not need to take your oral iron pills on the day you receive the intravenous iron.
The “Revive” IV Lounge is where wellness and rejuvenation seamlessly intertwine. We believe that your inner well-being is the foundation for radiant beauty and confidence.
