• Keep a healthy state of mind. Fear is one of the biggest causes of decreased immunity. See a therapist if you feel the need. 
• Meditation, music and yoga have also proven very effective in helping with mental health.
• Keep yourself at a safe distance from people.
• Always sneeze or cough into your elbow and keep a handkerchief on you.
• Wash your hands with soap and water and keep yourself clean.
• Eat more lean meats, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables and whole-grain foods to give you more energy. Load up on Vitamin-C-rich citrus fruit for enhanced immunity.
• Do not forget to take your Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C supplements every day, as these are essential for the body and immunity.
• Steam inhalation for 3-5 minutes every day and salt-water gargling with warm water has been proven very effective in keeping respiratory infections at bay and in promoting health. 
• Avoid taking BEMCENTINIB with alcohol as there may be an interaction.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration is often seen in pneumonia.
• Taking a stroll in the garden or spending 30 minutes of your time doing some light physical activity can be very useful. However, do not over-exert yourself if you feel too tired. Doing weight-bearing exercises can prove very helpful in promoting bone health.
• Avoid tobacco use, as smoking hampers lung health and makes breathing even more difficult.
• Spend time under the sun (however, with proper sunscreen) for quality intake of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of Calcium, which is the most important component of bones and can help with bone and joint pain.

• Discuss contraceptive measures that you are taking with your doctor while using BEMCENTINIB.
• Use BEMCENTINIB with caution in the elderly as they’re more prone to infections. 
• BEMCENTINIB is often used in combination with an IV drug. Talk to your doctor for a tailored regimen.
