Iron Infusion Clinic Zurich & Dübendorf

An intravenous iron infusion is recommended when oral iron tablets are poorly tolerated (causing nausea, stomach cramps, or constipation), when absorption in the gastrointestinal tract is insufficient, or when severe iron deficiency requires a rapid replenishment of bodily iron stores to alleviate debilitating exhaustion.

Most patients experience a noticeable boost in physical energy, improved mental concentration, and reduced sleepiness within 7 to 14 days following their Ferinject infusion, as cellular ferritin levels and hemoglobin synthesis normalize.

Yes! When iron deficiency is laboratory-confirmed (low ferritin level and/or reduced transferrin saturation) accompanied by clinical symptoms (such as chronic fatigue, restless legs, or hair thinning), the costs of the diagnostic blood work and the Ferinject infusion are fully covered by compulsory basic health insurance (KVG) across all health insurers in Switzerland.

The infusion is administered comfortably in our quiet relaxation room under continuous medical supervision. The infusion itself takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes, followed by a short 20-minute resting period to ensure complete well-being before heading home or back to work.

Our specialized iron deficiency services are offered at three central hubs: Zurich Altstetten (Badenerstrasse 621), Zurich Seefeld (Seefeldstrasse 187), and Dübendorf (Leepuntstrasse 5).
