@utger Hi, The side effects of IV iron are usually minimal but may include the following Dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness when getting up suddenly from a lying or sitting position, and Gastrointestinal pain. Normally, it may take from a week to a month after you start your iron supplement before you start to feel better. Continue to watch your symptoms and take note of side effects that might be caused by the supplements. If you have any questions or concerns, talk to your healthcare provider. Thanks!
