subcutaneous

Subcutaneous administration as a route: absorption kinetics from abdomen versus thigh versus upper arm, tissue depth, and why site rotation matters more for tolerability than for pharmacokinetics.

Red, raised and itchy at the injection site for four days. How do I tell a local reaction from an infection?

Four days ago I injected into the left side of my abdomen. Within an hour there was a coin-sized red area, slightly raised, and it itched. It is now day four: the…

Does site rotation actually have evidence behind it, and what kind of reaction warrants stopping?

Two related questions I cannot get straight answers to. First, site rotation. Everyone says rotate, nobody says on what evidence or at what spacing. I have seen "2…

What differentiates an injection-site nodule from an infection?

I have kept a symptom diary against dose dates, which turns out to have been the useful thing. The figures are clear enough; the question is what they mean and what…

Does injecting into the outer thigh change absorption enough to matter?

I keep a written log of every draw with date, volume and syringe type. I understand the observation; what I do not understand is the mechanism behind it. I have read…
