Certain medications are administered as injections. These medications may be given this way for a number of reasons. Some drugs need to be injected so that they are not degraded in the stomach or to get them into the bloodstream faster. Injections can be given intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SQ or SC). Intramuscular injections are given directly into a muscle while subcutaneous injections are administered into the fatty tissue below the skin.
The vials that contain medicines for injection are sterile, and precautions need to be taken to keep them that way. It may seem intimidating to draw a dose out of a sterile vial and administer an injection, but by following our tips, you’ll become a pro in no time.
