Iron IV Infusions | Lococo Wellness Clinic

Iron IV Infusions

At Lococo Wellness Clinic, our intravenous (IV) iron process is structured carefully to ensure both safety and effectiveness. We follow a stepwise protocol designed to confirm that IV iron therapy is appropriate and necessary before beginning treatment.

Our Safety Process

To ensure that iron infusions are safe and beneficial, we complete several steps before moving forward with IV therapy:

Comprehensive blood work: We begin by assessing key parameters such as iron saturation, ferritin, and related markers to ensure safety and determine eligibility.
View full blood work list
- CBC (Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH)
- Ferritin
- Serum Iron
- TIBC (Total Iron-Binding Capacity) and Transferrin Saturation
- Kidney function (Creatinine, eGFR, Electrolyte Panel)
- Liver function (ALT, AST, ALP, Bilirubin, GGT, LD)
- G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase)
- CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
- Vitamin B12 and Folate
- TSH ± Free T4
You may ask your MD to requisition this blood work. If your MD is unable or unwilling to do so, our clinic can requisition the full panel once you become a patient. All laboratory costs will be billed out-of-pocket.
Live blood cell analysis: This allows us to visually assess red blood cell quality, nutrient status, and circulatory health to determine if underlying imbalances are contributing to symptoms.
Corrective care phase: If abnormalities are detected through live blood analysis, these are addressed first using targeted nutritional and supportive therapies to optimize your internal environment before introducing IV iron.
Re-testing: After implementing corrective measures, we recheck iron saturation and ferritin levels.
IV iron phase: If these markers remain low after corrective care, we proceed with intravenous iron repletion under monitored clinical supervision.

This multi-step approach helps minimize risk, supports overall cellular function, and ensures that the iron is used effectively by the body. The goal is not just to raise numbers on paper, but to restore optimal function safely and sustainably.

What to Expect During Treatment

Once you are cleared for an iron IV, the infusion will take approximately 2 hours to allow for safe and gradual administration. Comfort measures and vital sign monitoring are maintained throughout. Most patients resume daily activity shortly after treatment.
