What Are Subcutaneous Injections?
Subcutaneous injections involve the administration of medication into the layer of fat and tissue just beneath the skin (the subcutaneous layer). Unlike intravenous (IV) injections, which go directly into the bloodstream, subcutaneous injections are absorbed more slowly, making them ideal for certain types of medications that require gradual absorption. Subcutaneous injections are commonly used for medications that treat conditions such as:
• Diabetes: Insulin is often delivered via subcutaneous injections to help regulate blood sugar levels.
• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Medications such as testosterone or estrogen may be injected subcutaneously for hormone replacement.
• Blood Thinners: Medications like heparin or enoxaparin are given as subcutaneous injections to prevent blood clots.
• Pain Management: Certain pain medications, like opioids or biologic therapies, may be administered through subcutaneous injections for ongoing relief.
• Autoimmune Conditions: Some biologics for autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or Crohn’s disease are delivered via sub-Q injections.
