iron infusion
Intravenous metal supplement
An iron infusion is a medical procedure that delivers iron directly into the bloodstream through an IV, bypassing the digestive system.
It's used when oral iron supplements aren't effective or tolerated, typically for patients with severe anemia or conditions that impair iron absorption: My doctor recommended an iron infusion because the pills were making me sick.
