Subcutaneous (SC) injections are administered into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin, allowing for slower absorption of the medication. In contrast, intramuscular (IM) injections are delivered directly into a muscle, resulting in a quicker absorption due to the rich blood supply in muscle tissue. The choice between SC and IM injections often depends on the medication's formulation and desired effect. Additionally, SC injections typically use smaller needles and involve less discomfort than IM injections.
