More than half of Australian general practices are offering intravenous iron infusions, a new survey suggests.
According to a recent Healthed survey of over 1000 practising GPs, over 60% (61.12%) said they prescribed IV iron for their patients and just over half (52.13%) said they offered IV iron infusions in their practices.
