When Oral Iron Isn't Getting the Job Done
If you’ve been taking iron supplements without much change — or your stomach simply can’t tolerate them — an iron infusion may be the next step. It delivers iron directly into your bloodstream, bypassing digestion entirely, so your levels can recover more efficiently than oral supplementation often allows.
At Markham Vitality Health, iron infusion therapy is provided under the direct oversight of a Registered Physician, starting with a free consultation to make sure it’s actually the right approach for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral for an iron infusion?
No referral is required. Recent bloodwork is helpful — if you don’t have it, we can guide you on what to get before your consultation.
How long does an iron infusion take?
Most appointments run between 30 and 90 minutes, including monitoring time.
How many infusions will I need?
It depends on your ferritin levels, history, and symptoms. Some patients need a single session; others need a short series. Your physician will discuss what’s appropriate for you.
Is iron infusion covered by OHIP or insurance?
OHIP does not cover private clinic services. Some extended health plans may offer coverage — check with your provider, and feel free to ask our team for guidance during your consultation.
What if I've already tried oral iron and it didn't work?
That’s one of the most common reasons patients come to us. We’ll look at why supplementation may not have worked — whether it’s absorption, tolerance, or ongoing losses — before recommending next steps.
Is iron infusion painful?
Most patients feel only mild discomfort, similar to a standard IV insertion. Our team monitors you throughout to ensure your comfort and safety.
