We are very excited to bring this much needed treatment to Barrie. Iron infusions in Barrie are an essential treatment for iron deficiency anemia.
If you’ve been struggling with low energy, shortness of breath, or feeling faint, low iron could be a key factor. While oral iron supplements are often the first step, some people don’t respond well or can’t tolerate them. In those cases, IV iron infusions may be a safe and effective way to restore healthy iron levels.
When IV Iron Can Be Considered
IV iron therapy can help when:
- Ferritin is below 30 mcg/L
- You’ve taken oral iron for at least 3 months but haven’t seen a sufficient rise in ferritin
- You can’t tolerate oral iron, due to significant digestive upset or allergic reactions
- You have a condition that limits absorption, such as Celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or a history of bariatric surgery
At Rooted, we assess your full health picture — lab work, symptoms, and medical history — to determine whether an iron infusion is right for you.
Our Process for Your Iron Infusions
Because Iron Infusions are currently not under the scope of naturopathic doctors, we require the delegation from your doctor, nurse practitioner or the nurse practitioner we have access to. IV iron is also a prescription from a pharmacy. It can be covered with your drug plan.
Here’s our flow chart so you see the steps:
