Aclasta
Aclasta is given intraveanusly . It is given as a once-yearly infusion for osteoporosis in patients aged 70 years of age or older with a bone mineral density T-score of –2.5 or less and in established osteoporosis with any fracture due to minimal trauma. Read more about Aclasta.
Please speak to your GP regarding this treatment.
There are a three ways in which iron levels can be replenished; orally, intramuscularly, and intravenously.
Oral iron has the advantage of being simple and cost-effective, but is limited by side-effects, poor compliance, poor absorption, slow effect and low efficacy. Intramuscular iron is relatively slow and requires multiple injections (typically in the buttock) over a period of time and frequently causes pain and discomfort as well as permanent stains on the overlying skin. However, providing iron by infusion allows for rapid restoration of the body’s healthy iron levels with relatively few side effects.
Fees
Iron infusions would incur a $120.30 out-of-pocket charge.
