Iron Infusion with Additives
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide, often leading to iron deficiency anemia. When oral iron supplements are ineffective or poorly tolerated, iron infusion therapy, such as with Venofer (iron sucrose), can provide a safe and efficient alternative.
