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.
A subcutaneous injection is also known as a subQ or SC injection.

1993 sc 400 fuel injection pump location? how do you know if it bad ?
subcutaneous, becauseIntrdermal injections take along time to absorb into the body due to the extended time it takes the med to diffuse across the dermis.
Intramuscular injection involves placing the medication directly into the belly of a muscle.
Intermuscular (IM) is slightly faster than Subcutaneous (SC) however Intravenous (IV) is the fastest method of administration.
