ingespoten

Ingespoten is the past participle of the Dutch verb inspuiten, meaning to inject a substance into someone or something using a syringe or similar device. The form is used as an adjective or in perfect tenses to indicate that the substance has been administered by injection. It is commonly found in medical, veterinary, and pharmaceutical contexts.

The word is formed from in- plus spuiten and follows standard Dutch past-participle formation. It is typically used with nouns such as geneesmiddel, vaccin, insuline, or vloeistof to describe the method of administration: for example, het vaccin is ingespoten or het geneesmiddel is ingespoten.

The term is distinct from related terms such as injectie (the act of injecting) and toediening (delivery of a substance by any route). It specifically refers to administration by injection; substances given by oral, inhalation, of other routes are not described as ingespoten.

In human and veterinary medicine, ingespoten medications are common, particularly vaccines and insulin. In clinical notes, you may encounter both active and passive forms, such as "Het medicijn is ingespoten" or "Het medicijn werd ingespoten." See also inspuiten, injectie, en toediening.
