Intravenous (IV) iron is administered when a person has iron deficiency anemia that cannot be effectively treated with oral iron supplements. This may be due to malabsorption issues, severe deficiency, or when a rapid increase in iron levels is needed. The IV route allows for more direct and efficient absorption of iron into the bloodstream, helping to quickly replenish iron stores and improve hemoglobin levels. It's typically done in a clinical setting under medical supervision.
