Before Your Appointment

Can I come without a prescription?

Yes, but in some cases a prescription may be required for the treatment to be reimbursed. If you are unsure, you can contact us by email or phone.

Is the treatment covered by health insurance?

Yes, the treatment is covered if it is prescribed by a physician and based on laboratory results confirming iron deficiency.

Do I need blood tests before receiving treatment at PragmaFer?

Ideally, yes. Blood tests help confirm iron deficiency and determine the most appropriate treatment. Your physician can prescribe these tests.

Why do I have iron deficiency even though I eat normally?

Iron deficiency is not solely related to diet. It may result from poor absorption, chronic losses (heavy menstrual bleeding, intensive sports activity, digestive disorders), or increased physiological needs. Blood tests help determine the underlying cause.

During the Treatment

How long does an iron infusion or injection take?

The duration generally ranges between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on the type of treatment and your individual situation. For more details about how iron injections and infusions are performed, please refer to our dedicated treatment page.

What possible side effects may occur?

Side effects are uncommon but may include a sensation of warmth, mild headaches, or localized redness. We ensure careful monitoring after each session.

Should I stop taking iron supplements before the session?

In general, it is recommended to stop oral iron supplements a few days before the infusion. Always follow your physician’s advice.

Are iron treatments painful?

In most cases, there is only mild discomfort at the injection or infusion site. This sensation is temporary and monitored by our medical team on site.

Is there a risk of iron overload?

No, when the treatment is prescribed based on laboratory results and administered under medical supervision. Dosages are tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

How many sessions are usually required?

This depends on your individual situation. A single infusion may be sufficient in mild cases, while several sessions may be necessary in cases of significant deficiency.

After the Infusion or Injection

When will I start to feel improvement?

Improvement is usually gradual. Some patients notice benefits within a few days, but most experience improvement over a period of 2 to 4 weeks.

Do I need follow-up blood tests after the treatment?

A follow-up blood test may be recommended a few weeks after the infusion to assess the response to treatment. It is not systematic and depends on your clinical situation and your physician’s recommendation.

Can I resume my usual activities after the infusion?

Yes. Usual activities can be resumed immediately. However, it is advisable to avoid intense physical exertion on the same day.
