Tag: Eating during infusion

Unlike oral iron supplements where food timing and interactions are crucial, medical consensus confirms that fasting is not required for an IV iron infusion. In fact, having a light, balanced meal before your appointment is often recommended to help prevent potential side effects like lightheadedness or nausea.

According to numerous medical clinics, it is generally not only safe but also recommended to eat a light snack before or during a standard IV therapy session. This helps stabilize blood sugar and prevent feelings of nausea or lightheadedness, a common concern for those receiving IV therapy.
