Venofer® Iron Infusion
Iron is crucial for binding and transporting oxygen to red blood cells. A deficiency can lead to severe fatigue, tachycardia, anxiety, and shortness of breath, among other symptoms. After an iron infusion, we recommend a Myers cocktail infusion, Immune Boost, or any of Vita 10’s IVs featuring our specially formulated High Dose B Complex and Vitamin C for added benefits. Vitamin C aids in iron absorption, while B12 fosters red blood cell production, enhancing iron's efficiency throughout the body.
Adverse Reactions:
Common reactions encompass a metallic taste in the mouth, low blood pressure, fever, and shivering. Less frequent reactions include nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, dizziness, itching, pain in extremity, joint pain, back pain, muscle cramp, pain or redness at the injection site, sore throat, chest pain, and swelling of extremities. Many reactions can often be alleviated by slowing the rate of infusion. Serious, life-threatening reactions such as anaphylaxis are very rare but possible.
