Why certain injections are formulated as IV and IM?
Certain injections are formulated as intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) based on the desired speed of absorption and the type of medication. IV injections deliver drugs directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid onset of action, making them suitable for emergency situations or when immediate effects are required. In contrast, IM injections are absorbed more slowly, providing a sustained release of medication, which is beneficial for vaccines or medications that need to maintain therapeutic levels over time. The choice between IV and IM also considers factors like the drug's chemical properties and the patient's condition.

Each type is used based on the medication's properties and the desired speed of absorption.
What are the four types of injections?
The four types of injections are intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC), intravenous (IV), and intradermal (ID). Intramuscular injections deliver medication deep into a muscle, while subcutaneous injections administer it into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin.

What is the difference between an injection that is given IM OR IV?
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.
