Injections

Injections are a common medical procedure used to deliver medications, vaccines, or other therapeutic substances directly into the body. They are administered using a syringe and needle, ensuring rapid absorption and effectiveness. There are various types of injections, including intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC), intravenous (IV), and intradermal (ID), each serving different medical purposes.

Injections are widely used for pain management, insulin therapy, vaccinations, antibiotics, and other treatments. They provide a fast and precise way to deliver medication, especially when oral administration is ineffective. Healthcare professionals administer most of it, but some, like insulin or hormone injections, can be self-administered with proper training.

From routine immunizations to emergency medications, play a crucial role in modern healthcare. They help manage chronic conditions, treat acute illnesses, and even support cosmetic treatments. Proper technique and sterile practices ensure safe and effective administration, minimizing risks and enhancing patient outcomes.
