Intramuscular Delivery

Meaning

Intramuscular Delivery is a method of parenteral drug administration that involves injecting a liquid formulation deep into the highly vascularized skeletal muscle tissue. This route is strategically chosen for its ability to facilitate a rapid and uniform absorption of aqueous solutions into the systemic circulation. It is commonly employed in clinical practice for the administration of vaccines, antibiotics, and long-acting hormonal agents, such as testosterone or progesterone esters, to achieve systemic effects.
