What is IV Iron Therapy
IV iron therapy, also known as intravenous iron infusion, involves administering iron directly into the bloodstream. This allows for rapid repletion of iron stores compared to oral supplementation, under medical supervision. IV iron is commonly used in individuals with:
Iron deficiency anemia
Chronic low ferritin with symptoms
Poor tolerance or absorption of oral iron
Ongoing iron losses (e.g., heavy menstrual bleeding)
Certain gastrointestinal conditions affecting absorption
All IV iron treatments at Six Clinic are provided following a clinical assessment to determine appropriateness and safety.
Why Consider Private IV Iron Therapy in Vancouver?
In British Columbia, access to IV iron through public infusion clinics may involve referral processes and wait times depending on availability and indication. For individuals who meet criteria for IV iron therapy and are seeking timely access in Vancouver, private infusion clinics can offer an alternative care pathway.
At Six Clinic, we aim to provide:
More flexible scheduling
Reduced wait times for eligible patients
A comfortable, non-hospital environment
Continuity of care with your primary provider (with shared care if desired)
We work collaboratively with patients and their existing healthcare providers to support appropriate iron repletion plans.

In-Clinic Infusion
Infusions are administered by trained medical professionals in a private treatment room. Patients are monitored during and after the infusion for safety.
