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.

EzraIntramuscular (IM) injections are given into the muscle tissue, while intravenous (IV) injections are given directly into the vein. IM injections are typically absorbed more slowly than IV injections, which allow for a slower release of medication into the bloodstream. IV injections are usually faster acting and have a more immediate effect.

What is the difference between a pH of 2 and a pH of 4?
The answer is 2 ^^the above is TOTALLY wrong! the difference between say pH 2 and pH 3 is a difference of 10...im not sure if the difference of pH 2 and pH 4 is 100 or 20 because im not sure if you add the 10's or if you multiply them...but the answer is deffiently either 100 or 20...sorry i didnt help much :/
What is the difference between fission and fusion in nuclear bombardment reactions?
Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei, releasing energy and neutrons. Fusion is the merging of light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy. In fission, the atomic weight of the reactant nucleus is high, whereas in fusion, the atomic weight is low.
Is phosphorus triiodide ionic or covalent?
im Pretty sure its covalent. if its not im screwed
Is citric acid sodium hydrogen carbonate endothermic or exothermic reaction?
The reaction between citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate is an exothermic reaction because it releases heat energy. This reaction is commonly seen in effervescent tablets used to produce carbon dioxide gas.
What determines the range of spectral lines produced during electron transition?
The range of spectral lines produced during electron transition is determined by the energy difference between the initial and final electronic states. This energy difference corresponds to the photon energy of the emitted light, which dictates the wavelength or frequency of the spectral lines observed in the spectrum. Additionally, the atomic structure and electron configuration of the atom also play a role in determining the specific transitions and resulting spectral lines.
