A subcutaneous injection is a method of delivering medication into the layer of fat and tissue just beneath the skin. This route allows for slower absorption of the drug into the bloodstream compared to intramuscular or intravenous injections. It is commonly used for medications like insulin and certain vaccines, as it is relatively simple and can often be self-administered. The injection is typically performed using a small needle and is usually given in areas like the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
