injectible
Injectable refers to a method of administering substances into the body via injection. This typically involves a hollow needle and a syringe to push a liquid or substance into the body. Injectables are used for a variety of purposes, including the delivery of medications, vaccines, nutritional supplements, and cosmetic treatments. The route of administration for an injectable can vary, with common methods including subcutaneous (under the skin), intramuscular (into a muscle), and intravenous (directly into a vein). Each method has different absorption rates and effects on the body. Injectable medications are often used when a substance cannot be effectively administered orally, or when a rapid and direct effect is desired. The development and manufacturing of injectable products require stringent quality control to ensure sterility, potency, and safety. Potential risks associated with injectables can include pain at the injection site, infection, allergic reactions, and bruising. Medical professionals are trained to administer injectables safely and to manage any potential adverse events. The term "injectable" can also be used to describe specific formulations designed for injection, such as injectable contraceptives or injectable drugs for chronic conditions.
