Subcutaneous Injection Techniques

Meaning

Subcutaneous Injection Techniques refer to the standardized, clinically defined methods for administering medications, such as certain hormones or peptides, into the adipose layer directly beneath the dermis. This route of administration is preferred for compounds requiring slow, sustained absorption into the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass hepatic metabolism. Proper technique is paramount for ensuring consistent bioavailability, minimizing discomfort, and preventing localized tissue reactions.
