Injectable medications

Injectable medications are medicines delivered directly into the body using a needle and syringe. This method allows for quick absorption into the bloodstream, making it effective for various treatments. Injectables can be used for vaccines, pain relief, insulin for diabetes, or medications for chronic conditions. They may be given by a healthcare professional or self-administered at home. There are different types of injections, including intramuscular (into the muscle), subcutaneous (under the skin), and intravenous (directly into a vein). Proper technique and hygiene are essential for safety and effectiveness.
