Here are symptoms and conditions that may be improved by iron IV therapy
Anaemia can cause paleness of the skin and mucous membranes, as reduced haemoglobin levels result in decreased oxygenation of tissues.
Iron deficiency can affect the health of nails and hair, leading to brittleness and hair loss. Adequate iron levels can support the restoration of healthy hair and nails.
Iron deficiency anaemia can lead to reduced oxygen transport in the blood, resulting in fatigue, weakness, and a lack of energy. Iron IV therapy aims to replenish iron stores and improve these symptoms.
