Who Needs an Iron Infusion?

Iron deficiency rarely arrives without a reason. Our private iron infusion clinic in London helps patients whose stores are too depleted to recover through diet or oral supplements alone — or who simply need results faster than tablets can offer.

O1

Women’s health

  • ·  Heavy menstrual periods
  • ·  Pregnancy & postpartum recovery

When oral iron isn’t holding your levels, IV iron can restore stores in a single appointment.

O2

Diet & absorption

  • ·  Vegan & vegetarian diets
  • ·  Coeliac, IBD, or post-bariatric
  • ·  Other absorption disorders

IV iron bypasses the gut entirely, so absorption issues are no longer a barrier to restoring levels.

O3

Medical conditions

  • ·  Cancer therapy & chemotherapy
  • ·  Cardiac or chronic kidney disease
  • ·  GI bleeding or NSAID-related loss
  • ·  Pre-surgery iron optimisation

For patients whose iron stores need to recover quickly alongside other treatment plans.

O4

Performance & intolerance

  • ·  Endurance athletes & demanding professionals
  • ·  Patients who can’t tolerate oral iron

When tablets cause nausea or constipation, IV iron is a one-and-done alternative.

Iron Infusion FAQs

What is IV iron infusion therapy?

IV iron infusion therapy delivers iron directly into your bloodstream, rapidly restoring iron levels and bypassing the digestive limitations of oral supplements. Each session takes between 1 and 3 hours depending on the dose, with a registered nurse monitoring you throughout in our CQC-registered Mayfair clinic.

How much does an iron infusion cost in London?

Our private iron infusion in London ranges from £350 to £840. The final price depends on the dose prescribed at your consultation, which is determined by your blood-test results, body weight, and degree of deficiency.

Do I need a GP referral for a private iron infusion?

No — you can self-refer for a private iron infusion at our London clinic. We will review your recent blood results (or arrange them) in a consultation before treatment to confirm iron deficiency and set the correct dose. Get in touch to arrange a consultation.

How long is the wait for an iron infusion on the NHS compared to going privately?

NHS waiting times for iron infusion vary by region and can run from several weeks to many months once you have been referred. As a private clinic, we can typically offer a consultation and treatment within the same week, subject to your blood-test results.

What are the common symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia?

Iron deficiency anaemia often develops gradually and may present with:
  • Persistent tiredness and lack of energy, even after rest
  • Shortness of breath during normal activities
  • Heart palpitations or noticeable heartbeats
  • Pale skin, particularly in the face, inner eyelids, or nails
  • Frequent headaches and difficulty concentrating (brain fog)
  • Hair shedding and brittle nails
If you recognise these symptoms, our medical team can assess whether IV iron infusion therapy is appropriate for you.

What causes iron deficiency anaemia?

Iron deficiency anaemia can result from several factors that reduce iron levels or increase iron requirements:
  • Heavy menstrual periods — one of the most common causes in women
  • Pregnancy and the postpartum period
  • Restrictive diets (vegetarian, vegan) or poor absorption
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding (ulcers, bowel inflammation, NSAID use)
  • Coeliac disease, IBD, and other absorption disorders
  • Chronic blood loss including haemorrhoids

Will I need a blood test before my iron infusion?

Yes. We need a recent blood test (within the last 3 months) to confirm iron deficiency and set the correct dose. As a guideline, we typically consider IV iron when ferritin is below 15–30 µg/L alongside relevant symptoms. If you don’t have recent results, we can arrange blood tests in clinic with results back within 24 to 48 hours.

How long does each iron infusion take?

Each iron infusion session takes between 1 and 3 hours depending on the dose required, with a registered nurse monitoring you throughout. The minimum session is 1 hour, with longer doses taking up to 2–3 hours.

How quickly will I feel better after an iron infusion?

Many patients notice a lift in energy within a few days, with the fuller benefit developing over 2–4 weeks as your body produces healthy red blood cells using the restored iron. Recovery varies by individual and the severity of deficiency.

Is iron infusion safe? What are the side effects?

Yes — iron infusions are safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. Our clinic is CQC-registered and every infusion is delivered by a registered nurse with full monitoring throughout.
  • Common, mild: temporary metallic taste, mild headache, nausea, lightheadedness, or injection-site discomfort
  • Less common: rash, transient muscle aches, or a short dip in blood pressure
  • Rare but serious: allergic reaction (we monitor for this throughout), low phosphate levels after higher-dose treatments, or permanent skin staining at the infusion site if iron leaks under the skin — we minimise this risk through careful cannulation
For a deeper read on iron deficiency, IV iron, and recovery, see our guide to iron infusion and fatigue.

Can I have an iron infusion during pregnancy?

Yes, on a case-by-case basis from the second trimester onwards, and after review by our medical team. We coordinate with your maternity team where relevant and only proceed when it is clinically appropriate.

How many iron infusions will I need?

Most patients need 1–3 infusions to restore optimal iron levels. We arrange a follow-up blood test 4–6 weeks after your infusion to confirm levels are stable and whether further infusions are needed.

Do you offer iron infusion at your London clinic or as a mobile service?

We provide IV iron infusion both at our Mayfair clinic and via our IV Drip at home service. Our clinic offers a calm, private environment, while our mobile service brings the same registered nurses and equipment directly to your home, hotel, or office.
