Methotrexate can be injected subcutaneously (under the skin) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). The specific injection site may vary depending on the patient's needs and the prescribing healthcare provider's instructions. Common subcutaneous injection sites include the abdomen or thigh, while intramuscular injections are often given in the deltoid muscle of the arm or the gluteal muscle of the buttock.
