About D Sone 4mg Injection

D Sone 4mg Injection is used to replace Dexamethasone deficiency. It treats various medical conditions, including severe allergic conditions, collagen diseases, pulmonary disorders, blood disorders, rheumatic diseases, skin diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, oedema, eye disorders, neoplastic states and endocrine disorders. It is also used in preoperative and postoperative support. Furthermore, it is approved for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adult and adolescent patients (aged 12 years and older with a body weight of at least 40 kg) who require supplemental oxygen therapy.

D Sone 4mg Injection contains dexamethasone, a steroid with both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant activity. Anti-inflammatory activity relieves the symptoms of inflammatory conditions, such as redness, swelling, and tenderness caused by various medical conditions. On the other side, immunosuppressant activity helps to calm your immune system. As a result, it can aid in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, in which your immune system erroneously destroys your own tissues.

Some people may experience mood changes in personality, mental health problems, muscle weakness, increased appetite, irregular or absent menstrual periods, infections and infestations, impaired vision, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, heartburn, peptic ulcer, muscle weakness, nausea and injection site pain or redness as side effects of D Sone 4mg Injection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Diet & Lifestyle for Allergic or inflammatory conditions:

  • Consume antioxidant-rich food. Blueberries, tomatoes, cherries, squash, and bell peppers are highly antioxidants.

  • Consuming probiotic-rich foods aids in the development of the immune system's resistance to allergies.

  • Consume foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid), such as apples, cherries, spinach, broccoli, and blueberries.

  • Include seasonal fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and fish in your daily diet.

  • Limit your intake of foods that may cause allergies, such as dairy products, soy, eggs, and nuts.

  • Limit the consumption of foods high in sugar that may aggravate inflammation.

  • Reducing stress and having a regular sleep schedule might be beneficial.

  • Avoid processed meats, refined carbohydrates, sugar, trans fats, and alcohol, as they may aggravate inflammation.

  • Remember always to wear a mask when you're around other people. Wearing a mask aids in the prevention of illness spread.

  • Please do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean.

  • Hands should be washed with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitiser on a regular basis.

  • All surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis.

  • Gargling with salt water and inhaling steam would be beneficial.

  • Never exchange personal objects that have been contaminated with bodily fluids or blood, such as razor blades or toothbrushes.

  • Never share used needles and other injections or medical devices, as they may spread viruses.

  • Consume a well-balanced diet. Consume vitamin and nutrient-rich foods like dark green, yellow, orange, and red vegetables and fruits to enhance your immune system. Choose lean protein and whole carbohydrates over-processed foods.

  • Consume no raw meat or eggs. Consume boiled and cooked meat, poultry, or seafood.
