IV/IM Injection

IV/IM Injection is a type of medication that is administered by injection into a vein (IV) or into a muscle (IM). This type of dosage form is used for medications that are unable to be taken orally, or for those that require a rapid onset of action. IV injections are delivered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid and complete absorption of the active ingredient. IM injections are delivered into a muscle, where they are absorbed into the bloodstream more slowly.

IV/IM injections are usually given by a healthcare provider and are typically used in a hospital or clinical setting. The exact composition and recommended dosage of an IV/IM injection should be determined by a healthcare provider, taking into consideration the patient's age, weight, and medical history, as well as the specific drug being administered. Injections are often used for emergency treatments, pain management, or as a delivery method for medications that cannot be taken orally due to gastrointestinal issues.
