Giving injections at home on the doctor's orders

Giving injections at home on the doctor's orders it often forms a standard part of therapy that contributes to the rapid and effective healing of the patient.

Injection it involves direct injection into the body of a concentrated amount of the necessary drug, antibiotics, and even hormones dissolved in a small amount of fluid. Where sterile equipment is used, i.e. syringe and needle.

According to the way they are given, injections can be intradermal (cutaneous), subcutaneous (subcutaneous), intramuscular (muscular), intravenous, intracostal, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, epidural, intracardial, intraarticular, intracavernous and intravitreal.

Most injections are given into a muscle, into a vein, or under the skin.

Is injecting at home safe?

Just as infusion administration at home, it must be strictly controlled, so the administration of injections is carried out only on the order of the doctor and in accordance with the treatment plan prescribed on the basis of a confirmed diagnosis.

Injections should be given exclusively by licensed medical personnel and at the doses and time intervals specified by the treatment. This ensures not only effective operation, but also the safety of application in home conditions. Otherwise, there may be many complications. Bleeding, bruising, rupture of veins are just a few of the consequences of improper injection. Unfortunately, no fatal outcome was ruled out. Statistics show that about 1.3 million people die each year due to poor treatment through injections.

Although giving injections is very short-lived, many are associated with pain. This fear, usually, has existed since childhood, and is caused by the discomfort that accompanied the child during the injection or, in turn, the intimidation of the parents as a measure of punishment.
