Sub-cutaneous Injections

Subcutaneous injections are procedures for administering medication into the fatty tissue layer between the skin and the muscle (subcutaneous tissue). This allows the medication to be absorbed more slowly than if inserted into a vein because subcutaneous tissue has a smaller blood supply.

Conditions and medications required subcutaneous injections include: insulin for diabetes management, autoimmune medicines, some vaccines, some painkillers, anticoagulants (medicines to prevent blood clotting), and anti-nausea medications.
