Sub q injection is a shortening of subcutaneous injection. Subcutaneous injections are given into the subcutaneous tissue which is the layer of tissue just under the skin - between the skin and the muscle. The most common areas of the body to give a subcutaneous injection are the abdomen, thigh, lower back and upper arm.

What is the difference between im and sub-Q injection?

IM (intramuscular) injections deliver medication directly into a muscle, allowing for faster absorption into the bloodstream due to the rich blood supply in muscle tissue. In contrast, subcutaneous (sub-Q) injections administer medication into the fat layer just beneath the skin, leading to slower absorption as the blood supply is less dense. The choice between the two methods often depends on the type of medication and the desired speed of absorption.
