Expert advice FOR Alerkim Injection

  • If you are receiving this medicine for a severe asthma attack, follow your prescribed asthma treatment plan after recovery. Identify and avoid triggers such as dust, smoke, air pollution, and pollen that may worsen your breathing problems.
  • If you have severe allergies, try to identify and avoid substances that trigger your allergic reactions, such as certain foods, medicines, or insect stings.
  • If you receive this medicine for inflammation around a joint or tendon, rest the affected area for 24–48 hours after the injection, and gradually resume normal activities.
  • If you require repeated or prolonged corticosteroid treatment, eat a balanced diet containing calcium- and vitamin D-rich foods, such as milk, curd, and fortified foods, to support bone health.
  • If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels as advised by your doctor, as corticosteroids may increase blood sugar.
