What Causes Weakness After Receiving Venefor Infusion Treatments?
Yes I received venefor infusion treatments (3) for low feretin levels (7) and within 36 hours I became very weak and shaky and could not eat and had a severe headache that sent to emergency room. I think this was from treatments but doctor said no. I may need treatment again and do not want to be that sick for about 4/5 weeks. What is your opinion about such treatments?

What Causes Weakness After Receiving Venefor Infusion Treatments?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion it is allergic reaction. Some individuals are allergic to injectable iron compounds. If you receive similar compound again than it may cause same reaction. And you nay be suck again. I suggest you to take some different product of it on than this. This will help you improve your haemoglobin and also protects you from such a reaction. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you. Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist.
