Iron Transfusion Clinic

Luxmedics offers IV iron infusion for iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia – assessed, prescribed and delivered on-site by our clinical team, without a trip across the border or a long hospital wait.

  • Assessment – Bloods & clinical review first
  • Infusion time – Typically 15–60 minutes –
  • Follow-up – Repeat bloods a few weeks later
  • Locations – Coleraine & Derry~Londonderry

For iron deficiency that oral tablets haven't fixed

IV iron isn’t a first-line treatment – it’s for people who are confirmed iron deficient and either can’t tolerate tablets, don’t absorb them well, or need levels corrected faster than tablets allow. A blood-based assessment always comes first.

  • Confirmed iron deficiency anaemia – Low ferritin or haemoglobin confirmed on blood testing, where correction is needed.
  • Intolerance to iron tablets – Where oral iron causes significant gastrointestinal side effects.
  • Absorption conditions – IBD, coeliac disease or previous gut surgery affecting how iron is absorbed.
  • Pregnancy-related deficiency Where a GP or obstetrician has identified a need for faster correction.

From first bloods to follow-up

Nothing is infused without a confirmed need. The process is the same whether you’re referred by your GP or coming to us directly.
  1. Bloods & review – Ferritin and iron studies checked, and reviewed by our clinical team.
  2. Suitability check – A short health screen to confirm IV iron is appropriate and safe for you.
  3. Infusion – Delivered in a comfortable treatment room, monitored throughout.
  4. Follow-up bloods – Repeat testing a few weeks on to confirm levels have improved.

IV iron is a prescription-only treatment. It’s only given after blood tests confirm deficiency and a clinician has assessed that it’s appropriate for you – it isn’t available as a walk-in or wellness top-up.

Frequently asked questions

What is an IV iron infusion?

It is a way of delivering iron directly into a vein through a small cannula, usually in a single appointment. It restores iron stores far more quickly than tablets and bypasses the digestive system entirely.
No. The two are completely different. You receive only iron in a sterile solution. No blood or blood products from a donor are involved at any point.
People with confirmed iron deficiency, with or without anaemia. It is particularly useful if you cannot tolerate oral iron, absorb it poorly (for example with coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease or after bariatric surgery), have heavy periods, or need your levels corrected quickly.
Fatigue, breathlessness on exertion, poor concentration, hair thinning, brittle nails, restless legs and reduced exercise tolerance are all common. Many people have symptoms before they become anaemic.
Yes. We need to see your ferritin, transferrin saturation, full blood count and inflammatory markers before treating. If you already have recent results, bring them and we will review them at no extra cost.
Yes. Iron deficiency is a symptom rather than a diagnosis in itself. We take a full history and will advise you if further investigation or a referral is appropriate.
No. You can book directly with us. With your consent, we will write to your GP after your treatment so your records stay up to date.
You will have a short review and consent discussion, then a cannula is placed in your arm and the infusion runs. Afterwards you are observed in the clinic before going home. Please allow around 90 minutes in total.
The cannula feels much like a routine blood test. The infusion itself is usually painless, though some people notice a mild sensation in the arm.
Commonly, a temporary headache, nausea, a metallic taste or mild joint and muscle aches for a day or two. Less commonly, brown staining of the skin can occur if the drip leaks at the cannula site. Allergic-type reactions are rare, which is why we observe you after treatment and have trained staff and full resuscitation equipment on site.
Many people notice improved energy within two to four weeks, although it can take longer. Blood levels are usually rechecked 6 to 8 weeks after treatment.
Most patients need only one. The dose depends on your weight and your starting iron levels. If your deficiency is severe, we may recommend a second infusion one week later, which is charged separately.
Yes. Most people carry on as normal afterwards, though we suggest taking the rest of the day at an easy pace.
IV iron is not given in the first trimester of pregnancy, or to anyone with iron overload, an active infection, or a previous reaction to intravenous iron. We assess all of this at your consultation.
