Injections just under the skin, so that you can see the needle while the medication is injected, are referred to as Intradermal. The PPD test for tuberculosis is administered this way. Injections administered into the layer below the skin are called subcutaneous. Insulin is administered this way. Injections which deliver medicine into a muscle are referred to as Intramuscular. Most immunizations are given this way, as are most antibiotic injections. Injections which deliver medicine directly into the bloodstream are referred to as Intravenous.
an injection into the muscle is called a Intramuscular injection or IM injection for short. These are the safest types of injections for people who are not certified to work with animals to give.
Injections can be intravenous (directly into a vein), intramuscular (directly into a muscle) and subcutaneous (under skin).
