The basic principle regarding medical treatment with impure substances is that it is forbidden. If it is confirmed that serums contain porcine ingredients, then it is not permissible to inject them except in cases of extreme necessity, such as when no alternative is available and Hajj is an obligatory duty. The sin in this case falls upon those who mandate such injections.
