If oral iron has not brought your levels up, or you cannot tolerate it, an iron infusion restores your iron stores in a single visit. At Seva Medical Clinic a physician assesses you first, orders the blood work, and prescribes the infusion. No referral needed.
Physician assessed. Monoferric in one visit. From $250.
3301 17 Ave SE, Calgary. Open Monday to Saturday. Request an appointment or call (403) 214-2622.
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in Canada and it is under-treated. Our physicians most often recommend an infusion when:
Not sure whether your iron is low? Book the assessment. The physician visit is covered by Alberta Health Care and includes the blood work.
Seva uses Monoferric (ferric derisomaltose), a Health Canada approved intravenous iron that delivers a full replacement dose in one infusion of about 20 to 30 minutes. Older iron products needed several visits. Your physician sets the dose from your weight and haemoglobin.
1. Physician assessment and blood work (ferritin, CBC, iron studies) if you do not have recent results.
2. Infusion booked, usually within a week.
3. 20 to 30 minutes in the chair with a registered nurse monitoring, then a short observation period.
4. Repeat blood work in 4 to 8 weeks to confirm your levels have recovered.
A physician confirms iron deficiency, rules out other causes of fatigue and chooses the dose. That assessment is covered by Alberta Health Care.
Monoferric replaces your iron in a single infusion. Most patients notice energy improving within two to four weeks as new red cells form.
Seva is a full family and urgent care clinic. If heavy periods, a gut condition or diet is behind the deficiency, the same team can manage it.
Intravenous iron is given to thousands of Albertans every year. The common side effects are mild: a headache, flushing, nausea or a metallic taste for a day or two. Serious allergic reactions are rare with modern iron products, and the clinic is equipped and staffed to manage them, which is why a nurse monitors you throughout.
An infusion is not given during an active infection, in the first trimester of pregnancy, or without recent blood work. Tell the physician about any previous reaction to iron, asthma, or eczema.
The physician assessment and blood work are covered by Alberta Health Care. The infusion itself is a private service from $250, which includes the Monoferric, nursing time and observation. You will be given the exact price before anything is booked.
Many extended health plans reimburse iron infusions with a prescription, and the cost is an eligible medical expense for tax purposes. Ask reception for a receipt and the prescription copy.
No. Our own physicians assess you and order the infusion in-clinic. If you already have recent blood work from another doctor, bring it and the process is faster.
Iron is taken up by the bone marrow immediately, but new red blood cells take two to four weeks to build up. Most patients notice a difference in energy within a month and full effect by eight weeks.
With Monoferric, usually one. Your physician calculates the dose from your weight and haemoglobin. A second infusion is only needed for very large deficits or ongoing blood loss.
Yes, from the second trimester, when oral iron has failed or anemia is significant. Your physician will discuss it with you and coordinate with your prenatal care.
Yes. There is no sedation. You can return to work or normal activities the same day. Avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
Leave your details and the clinic will call you within one business day to book your physician assessment. For urgent concerns call (403) 214-2622.
