Intra-muscular (IM) injections

Intra-muscular (IM) injections are a type of injection where medication is delivered directly into a muscle. This method allows for faster absorption of the medication into the bloodstream compared to subcutaneous (under the skin) injections, as muscles have a rich blood supply. IM injections are commonly used for vaccines, hormone therapies, and certain medications that need to be absorbed more quickly.
