Restore Your Energy and Overcome Iron Deficiency through Iron Infusions
Are you feeling constantly exhausted, breathless, or struggling with “brain fog”? Iron Infusion/iron infusions may be the solution. You are not alone. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional disorders in Australia, particularly affecting women.
At Athena Women’s Clinic, we provide specialised, GP-led Iron Infusions in a safe and comfortable environment. Whether your low iron is caused by pregnancy, heavy periods, or dietary factors, our medical team is here to help you restore your levels and get back to feeling like yourself.
Iron is essential for producing haemoglobin, which carries oxygen around your body. When levels drop, you may experience:
Chronic Fatigue & Exhaustion: Feeling tired even after a good night’s sleep.
Brain Fog: Difficulty concentrating or remembering things.
Physical Symptoms: Pale skin, brittle nails, and hair loss.
Shortness of Breath: Especially during exercise or daily activities.
Restless Legs: An uncomfortable urge to move your legs at night.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, our GPs can perform a simple blood test (checking your Ferritin levels) to determine if an infusion is the right treatment for you.
An Iron Infusion is a minor procedure where iron is delivered directly into your bloodstream via an intravenous (IV) line. Unlike oral iron tablets, which can take months to work and often cause stomach upset, an IV Iron Infusion restores your iron levels rapidly—often in a single session.
This method bypasses the digestive system, ensuring 100% absorption and providing faster relief from the symptoms of Iron Deficiency Anaemia.
We treat women at all stages of life. Common causes we see at our Perth clinic include:
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Excessive blood loss during periods is a leading cause of depletion.
Pregnancy & Postpartum: The demand for iron increases significantly during pregnancy to support your growing baby.
Dietary Choices: Vegans and vegetarians may struggle to get enough absorbable iron from food alone.
Gut Issues: Conditions like Coeliac disease can prevent your body from absorbing iron tablets.
While both treatments involve an IV drip, they serve different purposes:
Iron Infusions: A medical procedure strictly to treat diagnosed iron deficiency or anaemia.
IV Hydration: A wellness therapy designed to replenish fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins for general energy and recovery.
If you are looking for general wellness support rather than iron correction, visit our [IV Hydration Perth] page to learn more about our vitamin drips for energy and dehydration.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for an iron injection, which you will need to collect from a pharmacy and bring with you to your appointment.
You do not need an external referral, but you will need a consultation with our Athena Women’s Clinic doctors to prescribe the iron and ensure it is appropriate for you.
Many patients report feeling an improvement in energy within 1–2 weeks, though it can take a few weeks for your full iron stores to replenish.
Yes, Iron Infusions are commonly used in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy when oral supplements aren’t enough.
