Dr. Thomas Ackermann’s Practice

Medical Iron Infusion. New energy instead of constant exhaustion.
Chronic fatigue, diffuse hair loss, pallor, and “brain fog” – an empty iron store severely diminishes quality of life. Many women suffer for months with iron tablets, experience stomach pain, and yet see little improvement in their blood count, as the intestines absorb iron very poorly. In our private practice, we choose the medical shortcut: With a high-dose iron infusion, we bypass the gastrointestinal tract and replenish your stores directly via the vein in just one session.

The result: 100% active ingredient absorption, a protected stomach, and noticeably new strength.
Transparent medical treatment and billing according to GOÄ.

Your medical master plan:
* **Maximum efficiency:** Replenishment in 45 minutes instead of 6 months
* **Exact dosage:** Calculation of individual needs based on laboratory values
* **Specialist level:** Maximum infusion safety through anesthesiological monitoring

Description

Why Tablets Often Fail

Iron deficiency is not a lifestyle problem, but a concrete medical diagnosis. If the stores are empty (ferritin below 30 ng/ml), even the “healthiest diet” alone is no longer sufficient. The body has a protective mechanism (the so-called hepcidin blockade) that severely limits iron absorption through the intestines – often to less than 10%. The rest of the orally ingested iron remains in the intestine and causes constipation, nausea, or cramps.

For my patients from Herzogenaurach, Erlangen and Nuremberg is the Medical Drip Spa Infusion therefore often a revelation: We deliver the active ingredient 100% bioavailable exactly where the body urgently needs it – into the blood.

Do You Know Your True Needs?

Most patients massively underestimate how much iron they truly lack. Use my specially developed iron calculator to immediately see how many tablets you would need to take – compared to a single infusion.

The Doctor’s 3-Step Path to New Strength

We never administer infusions “on suspicion”, but work strictly evidence-based:

  • 1. The Blood Analysis (Safety First)
    No infusion without current lab results. We absolutely measure your ferritin (stored iron), blood count, and CRP level (inflammation) beforehand to strictly rule out dangerous iron overload (hemochromatosis).
  • 2. The Medical Calculation
    Based on your Hb value and body weight, I calculate according to the so-called Ganzoni Formula the exact milligram amount of iron your body needs to fill the stores 100%.
  • 3. The Infusion & Specialist Monitoring
    In about 30 to 60 minutes, the modern iron preparation is administered via a venous access. Since infusions can, in rare cases, trigger allergic reactions, you are in the safest hands with me as a Specialist in Anesthesiology . We monitor the therapy continuously.

Frequently Asked Questions about Iron Infusion

+ When do I notice an improvement in symptoms?
This is individual, but often impressively fast. Many patients report that already 2 to 4 days after the infusion, the chronic “brain fog” disappears, getting up in the morning feels easier, and shortness of breath subsides. The full effect on skin appearance and hair regrowth naturally only becomes apparent after a few weeks.
+ What does an iron infusion cost?
We bill transparently according to the Fee Schedule for Doctors (GOÄ). In addition to the medical consultation and infusion costs, there is the price for the required iron preparation from the pharmacy. Since the amount (milligrams) depends on your individual blood values, we will create an exact treatment plan for you after the lab control. Private health insurance usually covers this with a medical indication.
+ Can I bring my current blood count from my GP?
Yes, absolutely! If you have a current lab report (no older than 4 weeks) that necessarily includes your ferritin level, Hb level, and ideally your CRP level (inflammation marker), please bring it to the initial consultation. This saves us from having to take blood again.
