Iron Infusions in Mill Hill, North London
Book an Iron Infusion at Chase Lodge Hospital
With packages starting from £150
What We Offer
What is an iron infusion?
Low iron can lead to iron deficiency anaemia, which may cause tiredness, breathlessness, dizziness and reduced energy. An iron infusion is a treatment where iron is given directly into your bloodstream through a small drip in your arm. This allows your body to absorb iron more quickly than with tablets and helps replenish your iron stores.
You may be suitable for an iron infusion if:
- You have confirmed low iron or iron deficiency anaemia
- Iron tablets have not improved your levels
- You cannot tolerate oral iron due to side effects
- You have ongoing heavy periods or blood loss
- You have absorption issues or certain medical conditions
- You have been advised by a GP, consultant or specialist that IV iron may be appropriate
Intravenous iron is generally considered when oral iron is ineffective, not tolerated, or there is a clinical need to replace iron more rapidly.

Why do i need an Iron Infusion?
Symptoms of low iron
Low iron levels can affect people differently, but common symptoms include:
- Persistent tiredness or fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Headaches and/or Palpitations
- Pale skin
- Poor concentration or brain fog
- Feeling weak or low in energy
- Restless legs
- Hair thinning or brittle nails
If you are experiencing these symptoms, our team can arrange appropriate blood tests and clinical assessment to understand whether low iron may be the cause.
Your appointment at Chase Lodge Hospital
Your care begins with a clinical review to confirm whether an iron infusion is suitable for you. This may include reviewing recent blood tests or arranging new blood tests, including full blood count, ferritin and iron studies.
If treatment is appropriate, your iron dose will be prescribed based on your results, weight and clinical needs. The infusion is then given in a safe, comfortable clinical setting by trained healthcare professionals.
Is an iron infusion safe?
Iron infusions are commonly used and are generally well tolerated, but like all treatments, they may carry risks. Possible side effects can include headache, nausea, dizziness, flushing, muscle aches or irritation around the injection site. Rarely, allergic reactions can occur, which is why your infusion will be given in a monitored clinical setting.
Your clinician will discuss the benefits, risks and aftercare with you before treatment.
How quickly will I feel better?
Some people begin to feel an improvement within a few days, while for others it may take a few weeks as the body starts producing healthier red blood cells and rebuilding iron stores. Follow-up blood tests may be recommended to check your response.

FAQ's
Do I need a referral for an iron infusion?
You do not always need a referral, but we will need to review your symptoms, medical history and blood test results before treatment can be prescribed.
Can I have an iron infusion if I have not had blood tests?
You will need blood tests to confirm whether an iron infusion is appropriate. These can be arranged at Chase Lodge Hospital if required.
How long does the infusion take?
This depends on the type and dose of iron prescribed, but many IV iron treatments are given as an outpatient appointment.
Is it better than iron tablets?
Iron tablets are suitable for many people. However, an infusion may be recommended if tablets have not worked, cause side effects, or if iron levels need to be restored more quickly.

Yes. If the underlying cause is not addressed, iron deficiency can return. Your clinician may recommend further investigation, monitoring or follow-up care depending on your symptoms and results.
