Gluteus medius and Gluteus maximus
Intramuscular injection involves placing the medication directly into the belly of a muscle.
An injection into muscle is called 'an intramuscular injection.'
In the muscle. Or in room temper area
Intramuscular (IM) injections are typically given in one of three muscles. These muscles are the vastus lateralis, or thigh muscle, the ventrogluteal, or hip muscle, and the deltoid, or upper arm muscle.

Into The Muscle; Within The Muscle
When giving an intramuscular injection, particularly in the deltoid muscle, it's important to watch for the axillary nerve, which can be injured if the injection is administered too high or too laterally. In the gluteal area, the sciatic nerve is a major concern, and injections should be given in the upper outer quadrant to avoid it. Proper technique and anatomical landmarks should always be used to minimize the risk of nerve damage.
Orally (mouth), nasally (insufflated up nose), intramuscular injection (injected into muscle), intravenous injection (injection into vein).
The type of injection given into the aqueous muscle tissue is an intramuscular injection (IM). This method delivers medication directly into the muscle, allowing for faster absorption into the bloodstream. Common sites for intramuscular injections include the deltoid, gluteus maximus, and vastus lateralis muscles.
Select a site that is appropriate for intramuscular (IM) injection, typically the deltoid muscle in the arm or the gluteal muscle in the buttocks. Ensure that the chosen site is free of any abnormalities, inflammation, or infection, and follow proper sterile technique for successful IV placement.
