What veins do you take injections from the forearm?

In the forearm, the most commonly used veins for injections are the median cubital vein, which is located in the antecubital fossa (the crease of the elbow), and the cephalic and basilic veins along the outer and inner sides of the forearm, respectively. The median cubital vein is preferred due to its size and superficial location, making it easily accessible. The basilic vein is larger but is closer to major arteries and nerves, while the cephalic vein is more lateral and can be harder to locate in some individuals. Proper identification and technique are essential to minimize discomfort and complications.
