For HI2 it is IM
IM means Intramuscular route of drug administration, while IV means Intraveinal route of drug administration. IV route, takes the drug directly into the bloodstream resulting in 100% bioavailability instantly. Where as in IM route, drug is injected into muscle tissues, which holds the drug for a while and gradually releases into the bloodstream through the network bed of capillaries running across or surrounding the muscle tissue. In IM, the bioavailability may be slightly less than 100% of drug due to diffusion from muscle through tissue fluid and into the blood.
The possible ways to inject a horse are IV (intravenous), IM (Intramuscular) and SQ (sub cutaneous) are often medication dependant. Most vaccines are designed to be given IM. Most tranquilizers and pain meds are given either IM or IV. Most antibiotics are given IM or SubQ...although certain types can be given IV. The instructions will indicate how any injection is to be given. Injections given improperly can result in injury or death
No, the only forms of the vaccine are for use as IM (intramuscular) injections or as intra-nasal mists.
The order of absorption rates from fastest to slowest is as follows: intravenous (IV) administration provides immediate absorption, followed by intramuscular (IM) injections, which are absorbed quickly but not as fast as IV. Subcutaneous (SC) injections have a slower absorption rate than IM. Oral administration is the slowest, as it requires digestion before the drug enters the bloodstream, and sublingual administration is generally faster than oral but slower than IV and IM.
The four main types of injections are intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC or SQ), intravenous (IV), and intradermal (ID). Intramuscular injections deliver medication deep into the muscle, subcutaneous injections administer it into the fatty tissue just under the skin, intravenous injections provide immediate effects by delivering drugs directly into the bloodstream, and intradermal injections are given into the dermis layer of the skin, often for allergy tests or vaccinations. Each type is used based on the medication's properties and the desired speed of absorption.
iv = interveinous im = intramuscular
Penicillin comes in several different forms. Oral, IV or IM. Which means by mouth, injected into a vein or injected into a muscle. By mouth does present some challenges if your horse is a picky eater. You may have to be creative to get him to take it. IV injections need some degree of knowledge of equine anatomy and some experience finding a vein. IM injections are the simplest way to get the medicine into your horse. Best given in the big muscles in the neck or hindquarters. If your not squeamish about needles this is the way to go.
Guage 18 in medicine is the size of a needle either for injections or for IV insertion.
yes, it wouldn't be to bad but it might feel a little different
Ceftazidime can be administered both intravenously (IV) and intramuscularly (IM). However, IV administration is more common and preferred for serious infections, as it allows for better control of drug levels in the bloodstream. IM administration may be used in certain cases, but it is less frequently utilized due to potential pain and variability in absorption. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific dosing and administration guidelines.
Yes, atropine can be administered intramuscularly (IM) in certain situations, such as in emergency settings for the treatment of bradycardia or as part of advanced cardiac life support. The IM route is less common compared to intravenous (IV) administration, but it can be effective when IV access is not available. Dosage and administration should always follow established medical guidelines and protocols.
