A member asked:

Do i qualify for a iron infusion therapy with a hemoglobin of 9 and iron of 21 l and iron sat of 5l?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

First things first: You must ask first why you are iron deficient. Heavy periods? Pregnancies? Could you be pregnant now? Non-supplementing vegetarian? Bleeding stomach ulcer / cancer? Iron infusions are not for casual use, though they are easier on the gut than iron tablets. There are injectable forms too. Do yourself a favor and focus on the big picture.
