A member asked:

How long does iron infusion treatment take time wise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: An iron infusion used to take longer than it does now. Older iron preparations often caused adverse reactions. Newer iron preparations generally do not have adverse effects and can be infused in under 30 minutes.
