Infusions and Metabolic Clinic

Shirley Lockie, our SCOPE Certified NP and Surgical Assistant, now offers iron and multi vitamin infusions as part of her clinical work.

Iron Infusions

Modern iron infusion formulations are now very safe and effective against iron deficiency both with and without anaemia.

Oral iron will only help if you can tolerate or if your ferritin is > 55. Once ferritin drops below this number oral iron alone will not replace your iron stores. This is when an iron infusion can be considered.

Iron deficiency symptoms include:

• Extreme lack of energy
• Lack of concentration 
• Headaches or dizziness
• Pale skin and/or brittle nails
• Chest pain and/or shortness of breath

If you have a prescription or would like your recent bloods assessed you can contact us below.

Multi Vitamin Infusions

Multi vitamins can be infused directly into the blood stream and have the advantage of bypassing the normal absorption processes, thus being more effective. Patients report boosted energy and feelings of wellbeing.

They may help you in the following cases

• Combat tiredness or lethargy
• To aid in recovery of jet lag
• To aid in the recovery of intense physical activity
• Identified vitamin and mineral deficiencies
