Iron Infusions
An iron infusion is when iron is delivered via an intravenous line into a person’s body. A person with lower supplies of iron in their blood may benefit from an iron infusion.
Increasing the amount of iron a person has in their blood can cure anemia or increase a low red blood cell count.
The body uses iron to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an important part of red blood cells and helps carry oxygen around the body.
IV Hydration
IV infusion therapy is used to safely and rapidly distribute vitamins, nutrients, and electrolytes into your bloodstream. It aids in the replacement of fluids and nutrients lost from your body due to morning sickness during pregnancy. It supports your baby's growth by aiding in rehydrating. In pregnancy, IV hydration is known to help with significant morning sickness and Hyperemesis, to restore lost fluids
