Why are intramuscular injections more painful than subcutaneous injections?
Usually, the vehicle used for a intramuscular drug contains oil or a "fatty liquid". The amount of liquid injected is generally bigger in an IM injection and the drug might also be more irritative. The nail used is generally bigger and longer. For these reasons, almost all IM injections are more painful than SC injections.

How is a sc injection different to im?
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.

Why certain injections are formulated as IV and IM?
Certain injections are formulated as intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) based on the desired speed of absorption and the type of medication. IV injections deliver drugs directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid onset of action, making them suitable for emergency situations or when immediate effects are required. In contrast, IM injections are absorbed more slowly, providing a sustained release of medication, which is beneficial for vaccines or medications that need to maintain therapeutic levels over time. The choice between IV and IM also considers factors like the drug's chemical properties and the patient's condition.
