I’ve been on tirz for two years and am a new woman—except I can’t get my low ferritin to budge despite following the protocols for oral iron supplementation. My doctor is now suggesting iv iron. Co-pay is astronomical.. has anyone bought this in grey? Son is a paramedic and can set up the drip…
Low ferritin?

I found this, from an Indian pharmacy I use:
www.dmonlinemeds.com
They have both ampules and vials of iron. (Personally, I prefer vials for my subq injections, but I have never used iron.)
This vial is for infusion too, but vials are more expensive ($45 in this case):
This ampule for IV infusion is much cheaper ($4):

Do some research. IV iron can cause reactions and usually require trial doses. I use Venofer at work and it's known to be fairly safe. I don't know of any sub q iron. I have always given it IV. Any time it would infiltrate my patients would complain of severe burning.
