What to expect
IRON CARE · VITALITY IVThe starting point
Low iron is more
than a number.
Iron helps your body make hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. When iron stores are low, you may notice changes in how you feel.
Fatigue, lightheadedness and restless legs can occur with iron deficiency, but symptoms alone cannot confirm it. Your healthcare provider can review your history, arrange bloodwork and investigate the cause.
Iron deficiency and anemia are different.
You can have low iron stores without anemia. Bloodwork and a clinical assessment help your provider understand both.
Choosing the right care

Your individual needs.
Not everyone with low iron needs an infusion. Your prescriber will guide the choice.

Know what
to expect.
Does low iron always require an infusion?
No. Oral iron is often the first treatment. An infusion may be considered when oral iron is not tolerated, is not effective or is unsuitable for another clinical reason. Your clinician will help determine the right approach.
Can I arrange an infusion based only on symptoms?
No. Symptoms such as fatigue have many possible causes. Treatment should follow an appropriate assessment, bloodwork and prescription.
How quickly will I feel a difference?
Response varies. Your clinician will explain what to expect for your circumstances and how your progress will be assessed. A specific result or timeline cannot be guaranteed.
Will I need a prescription?
Iron infusions and B12 injections require an appropriate prescription from an authorized prescriber and a review to confirm the clinic can meet your care needs. Healthcare providers can submit referrals through OceanMD or use our fillable referral form. Visit our referral page for submission options.
