IV Iron Therapy – Monoferric®
What We Offer
PIH provides IV iron replenishment with Monoferric®, a modern, highly effective iron formulation that allows full iron repletion in a single infusion for most patients.
Care is provided in a trauma-informed, compassionate setting, with nursing support, medical monitoring, and coordination of all prescription and insurance requirements.
Why IV Iron?
Many people experience debilitating symptoms due to iron deficiency, even when their hemoglobin is normal. Symptoms may include:
Persistent fatigue or energy crashes
Brain fog, memory issues, or poor focus
Shortness of breath or exercise intolerance
Restless legs
Hair thinning
Palpitations
Feeling cold or unwell despite adequate rest
Public funding currently requires anemia (Hgb < 100) for IV iron approval; however, evidence now shows that symptomatic iron deficiency without anemia can significantly impair quality of life. Our program fills this important care gap.
Why Monoferric®?
Monoferric® is a next-generation IV iron with clear advantages:
One-and-done dosing
Most patients receive full iron repletion from a single infusion — unlike iron sucrose, which requires 4–6 visits.
Rapid improvement of iron stores
Monoferric replenishes iron quickly, supporting higher energy, improved cognition, and better overall function.
Excellent tolerability
No test dose required
Very low reaction rate
Suitable for those who cannot tolerate oral iron or who have become ill with iron sucrose
Convenient and efficient
Ideal for individuals with chronic fatigue, POTS, long COVID, or limited capacity for multiple appointments.
