Iron Infusions at Upper Room Clinic

Iron is the raw material your body uses to build hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to every tissue and organ. When iron stores run low, everything runs low: energy, focus, mood, exercise tolerance, even hair and skin. An iron infusion delivers iron directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely. For people who can't tolerate oral iron, can't absorb it, or can't wait months for tablets to work, IV iron can rebuild iron stores in as little as one to two visits. Every infusion at Upper Room Clinic, at both our Toronto and Oakville locations, is physician-supervised: your dose is calculated from your own lab results, and your response is confirmed with follow-up bloodwork.

Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional shortfalls in Canada — and one of the most overlooked, because its symptoms creep in slowly and get blamed on stress, age, or a busy life. Heavy periods, plant-based or restrictive diets, gut conditions, endurance training, and frequent blood donation all drain iron faster than food can replace it. A simple blood test is all it takes to find out where you stand.

  • Lab-confirmed. Ferritin and hemoglobin testing before treatment — and again after — so you see the numbers move.
  • Efficient. One 30–60 minute monitored visit; many patients are fully repleted with a single 1000 mg Monoferric infusion.
  • Transparent pricing. $390 for 500 mg, $650 for 1000 mg — or with Iron with Insurance, just $130 per infusion, regardless of dose, when your plan covers the iron itself.
  • Physician-supervised. Screened, monitored, and observed after treatment at our Davisville, Toronto and Oakville clinics.

Is an Iron Infusion Right For Me?

IV iron is for people with lab-confirmed iron deficiency — with or without anemia — particularly when oral iron isn't working or isn't an option. Common reasons our patients book an iron infusion include:

  • Low ferritin or iron-deficiency anemia confirmed on bloodwork
  • Persistent fatigue, brain fog, or shortness of breath on exertion
  • Heavy menstrual periods
  • Hair loss, brittle nails, or restless legs linked to low iron
  • Oral iron that causes nausea, constipation, or stomach upset
  • Absorption issues such as celiac disease, IBD, or previous bariatric surgery
  • Vegetarian, vegan, or high-training lifestyles with increased iron demands

The Benefits

Because IV iron bypasses the gut, it can do what tablets often can't — replenish your iron stores quickly, completely, and comfortably.

  • Fast, complete repletion. Oral iron can take three to six months to rebuild depleted stores — an infusion protocol typically does it in one to two visits.
  • No digestive side effects. IV iron bypasses the gut entirely, avoiding the constipation, nausea, and stomach upset that lead many patients to abandon iron tablets.
  • Lab-guided, personalized dosing. Your dose is calculated from your ferritin, hemoglobin, and body weight — never a one-size-fits-all bag.
  • Physician-supervised safety. You're screened before treatment and monitored throughout your infusion and afterwards by our clinical team.
  • Results you can verify. Follow-up bloodwork confirms your ferritin and hemoglobin have actually recovered — and many patients feel energy, concentration, and exercise tolerance improve over the following weeks.

What Can I Expect?

WELLNESS CONSULTATION
TREATMENT
AFTER CARE
PRICING & COVERAGE

Every path starts with a wellness consultation — and the consultation fee is waived if you have your infusion within one week of your consult date. We review your history and symptoms, arrange ferritin and hemoglobin testing (or use recent bloodwork from your referring GP, so nothing is repeated), calculate your dose, and write your iron prescription. Sharing your family doctor's information at this stage is highly beneficial — it lets us coordinate testing and keep your GP in the loop.

You'll relax in a monitored IV chair while your infusion runs — typically 30–60 minutes. If your insurance covers the iron itself, we write the script, you pick it up from your pharmacy, and we charge only $130 for the infusion — regardless of dose. Our clinical team checks on you throughout and observes you briefly after your infusion is complete.

Most people return to their normal activities right away. Mild, short-lived effects like a metallic taste, flushing, or achiness can occur over the first day or two. We schedule follow-up bloodwork to confirm your ferritin and hemoglobin have recovered — and to plan any further doses if needed.

There are three ways to get your iron with us — and every path starts with the wellness consultation, which is waived when your infusion happens within one week of your consult. Paying privately: consultation → bloodwork and prescription → infusion, at $390 for 500 mg or $650 for 1000 mg. Using insurance: the same steps, but your plan covers the iron itself — you fill our prescription at your pharmacy and pay just $130 for the infusion, regardless of dose. Referred by your GP with insurance: we use the bloodwork your GP already ran, so it's consultation and prescription → your $130 infusion, with nothing repeated.

During Treatment

Your infusion typically takes 30–60 minutes in one of our monitored IV chairs. Most treatments are uneventful; transient effects can include a metallic taste, flushing, headache, or mild joint and muscle aches. Our team monitors you throughout your infusion and for a short observation period afterwards.

Why Choose Upper Room Clinic

Iron therapy at Upper Room Clinic is led by Dr. Biljana Kostovic, a physician with over 30 years of clinical experience spanning Emergency Medicine, Pain Medicine, and integrative care. Our clinical team also brings direct, hands-on experience treating sickle cell anemia in West African countries — a depth of experience with complex blood and iron disorders that few infusion clinics can match. Every iron infusion starts with bloodwork: we confirm the deficiency, calculate your dose from your own results, and retest after treatment to make sure your levels have truly recovered.

With locations in Davisville, Toronto and Oakville, you don't need a referral to be seen — though it's highly beneficial to share your family doctor's information with us, so we can coordinate bloodwork, share your results, and keep your GP in the loop. Book a discovery call, complete your labs, and begin treatment as soon as your results are in — in a monitored, physician-supervised medical clinic rather than a walk-in drip lounge.
