Examples of subcutaneous and intramuscular injections.
|
Because it carries with it a substantial risk of hypoglycemia, [1][2] giving insulin intramuscularly should only be done with guidance from a medical professional. Insulins which are not soluble are able to be used intramuscularly, unlike intravenously, which requires soluble insulins only. | ||
Intramuscular insulin injection is a technique used for both pets and people in an effort to hasten onset, compared to the usual technique of injecting subcutaneously. [3] It's often referred to medically by the abbreviation IM. [4]
Because absorption of subcutaneous insulin can be altered by dehydration (mainly slower than normal), intramuscular insulin injections can be used for cases involving dehydration and/or ketoacidosis. [5]
