Usually, the vehicle used for a intramuscular drug contains oil or a "fatty liquid". The amount of liquid injected is generally bigger in an IM injection and the drug might also be more irritative. The nail used is generally bigger and longer.
For these reasons, almost all IM injections are more painful than SC injections.

Which sentence with intramuscular?
Intramuscular injections are commonly used to administer vaccines and medications directly into the muscle tissue for faster absorption. For example, a healthcare professional might give a flu vaccine intramuscularly in the upper arm. This method can provide a more rapid onset of action compared to subcutaneous injections. Moreover, intramuscular injections can accommodate larger volumes of medication than other routes.
Can a subcutaneous injection be given in the vastus lateralis?
Yes, a subcutaneous injection can be given in the vastus lateralis, which is a muscle located on the outer part of the thigh. However, this site is typically used for intramuscular injections rather than subcutaneous ones. For subcutaneous injections, preferred sites include the abdomen, outer thigh, or upper arm, where there is more adipose tissue. It’s important to ensure proper technique and choose the right site for the type of injection being administered.
What type of injection is used to administer Depo-Provera?

What is subcutaneous injections are angle at?
Subcutaneous injections are typically administered at a 45 to 90-degree angle to the skin, depending on the amount of subcutaneous fat present in the patient. For individuals with less body fat, a 90-degree angle is often used, while a 45-degree angle may be more appropriate for those with more subcutaneous fat. This technique helps ensure that the medication is deposited into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin. Proper injection technique is crucial for effective medication absorption and to minimize discomfort.
Why injections are done on muscles?
Injections into muscles, known as intramuscular injections, are performed to deliver medications directly into the bloodstream more quickly than with oral administration. This method is often used for vaccines, hormones, and certain medications that need to be absorbed rapidly or in larger volumes. Muscles have a good blood supply, which facilitates faster absorption, and the injection can provide a longer-lasting effect compared to other routes. Additionally, some substances are irritating to tissues and are better tolerated in muscle than in subcutaneous tissue.
Why do injections have to be in bottom?
It is more easily absorbed and less painful in the larger muscle's of your rear end.
What is angle of insertion for subquetanous injection?
The angle of insertion for a subcutaneous injection is typically 45 to 90 degrees, depending on the thickness of the patient's skin and subcutaneous tissue. For thinner individuals, a 45-degree angle may be more appropriate, while a 90-degree angle can be used for those with more subcutaneous fat. It's important to ensure that the needle is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue to avoid intramuscular injection. Always follow specific guidelines or protocols for the best practice in your setting.
