INTRAMUSCULAR VITAMIN AFTER CARE ADVICE

This aftercare form provides you with essential information and instructions to follow after

receiving an intramuscular injection. Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure optimal results of

your treatment and minimise potential complications. I would love for you to gain all the

benets these injections have to offer, so please read this form carefully and follow the

guidelines provided. 

​

Rest and Hydration: It is important to rest and maintain proper hydration for the rst 24 hours

following your injection. This will aid in the recovery process and help your body to better absorb

the ingredients.

​

Avoid Excessive Physical Activity: Refrain from engaging in strenuous physical activities or

exercise for at least 24 hours after your treatment. This allows your body to focus on healing and

prevents any additional stress on the injection sites. 

​

Limit Alcohol and Caffeine Consumption: Reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine for 48

hours following the injection, as these substances can interfere with the absorption and may

contribute to dehydration. 

​

Injection Site Care: Keep the injection site clean and dry for the rst 24 hours. Avoid applying any

creams, lotions, or makeup directly to the area. If you experience any redness or irritation, you may

apply a cold compress to the area for relief.  

Medication

:

If you experience any discomfort around the injection site, you may take simple

paracetamol if you wish. Avoid using aspirin, as it may increase the risk of bruising.  

 

Monitoring for Adverse Reactions : While adverse reactions are rare, it is essential to monitor your

injection site for any signs of infection or allergic reaction, such as redness spreading, swelling,

pain, or discharge. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your GP practice or 111. 

 

Please note: it can be normal to have a slight tenderness to the injection site and achy muscle sensation 1- 3 days afterwards. 

 

Nutrition: Maintain a healthy, balanced diet to support the benets of the injection and optimise

your results.
