What happens during an iron infusion?
Your doctor will review your medical history, blood tests, medications, and symptoms to determine whether an infusion is appropriate.
The infusion itself is administered by trained clinical staff and generally takes approximately 30–60 minutes, followed by a short observation period.
Are Iron Infusions safe?
Iron infusions are commonly performed and generally well tolerated, however all medical treatments carry risks and potential side effects.
Potential side effects may include:
Headache
Nausea
Temporary flushing
Muscle or joint aches
Changes in blood pressure
Skin staining
Low phosphate
Allergic reactions (rare)
Your doctor will discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives with you before treatment.
Do you perform Iron Infusions in pregnancy?
Yes, if deemed suitable, we do.
OSTEOPOROSIS INFUSIONS
What is Aclasta?
Aclasta® is an intravenous medication used to help strengthen bone and reduce fracture risk in people with osteoporosis or significant bone loss.It belongs to a class of medications called bisphosphonates.
Who may benefit from Aclasta?
Aclasta may be considered for patients with:
Osteoporosis
Osteopenia with elevated fracture risk
Fragility fractures
Postmenopausal bone loss
Steroid-induced bone loss
Bone health is especially important during and after menopause, when declining oestrogen levels can accelerate loss of bone density. Many people do not realise they have osteoporosis until a fracture occurs.
Bone health involves more than medication.
