Injections
Injections
Injections are a method of delivering medication directly into the body using a needle and syringe. Common types include intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC), and intradermal injections, each varying in the site of administration and speed of absorption. Injections are used for medications like vaccines, antibiotics, and hormonal therapies. They provide fast and effective delivery, especially for drugs that are poorly absorbed orally. Sterility and aseptic techniques are crucial to avoid infection, and some injections contain preservatives to maintain their safety and potency.
