Description

Intramuscular injections are a method of delivering medication directly into the muscle tissue. This route allows for faster absorption of the medication into the bloodstream compared to other methods, such as oral administration.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to intramuscular injections using colloquial terms or may confuse them with subcutaneous injections. It is important to maintain a formal register and clarify the specific type of injection being discussed, as patients may have varying levels of understanding about different injection methods.

Example Sentences
