For a 200 lb man, a common needle gauge for intramuscular injections is 22 to 25 gauge, depending on the viscosity of the medication being administered. A 22 gauge needle is typically used for thicker substances, while a 25 gauge is suitable for thinner solutions. For subcutaneous injections, a 25 to 27 gauge needle is generally appropriate. Always consider the specific medication and injection site when selecting the needle gauge.
