    Preparing for IV iron appointments 
    • Before your first dose of IV iron tell your doctor or nurse if you are allergic to any medications, including iron pills.
    • Please ensure that you bring the medication with you to the appointment.
    • During the infusion, if you develop any side effects, please let the nurses know right away.
    • On the day of your appointment, please take all regular medications as prescribed. Hold any oral iron the day of your appointment.
    • It is important that you have something to eat and are well hydrated prior to the appointment. You may have food/drink during the infusion if you like as well.
