Epinephrine can be administered subcutaneously, but this route is not the preferred method for treating severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis. Intramuscular injection, typically into the thigh, is recommended for rapid absorption and effectiveness. Subcutaneous administration may result in slower onset of action and is generally used in other contexts, such as in some cases of Asthma or for specific medical conditions. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate dosing and administration routes.
