injektiós

Injektiós is an adjective used in Hungarian to denote a relation to injection, the process of introducing a substance into a body or system, typically with a syringe or needle. In medical contexts it describes preparations, routes, and therapies administered by injection. A substance intended for injection may be referred to as an injectate. Common injection routes include intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intradermal, and intra-articular, each requiring appropriate technique and dosing. Injektiós therapy is used for vaccines, hormones such as insulin, analgesics, antibiotics, and biologics, among others. Administration relies on aseptic technique, accurate dosing, and monitoring for adverse effects.

Beyond medicine, the term can appear in discussions about software and computing to describe approaches that insert code or data into a program or system, as in code injection or SQL injection; in Hungarian, these usages are typically described with phrases emphasizing the act of injection.

Etymology and form: the term derives from Latin iniectio and the loanword injekció, with the Hungarian adjective formed by the suffix -s, yielding injektiós. Related terms include injekció (injection), injektálás (the act of injecting), and injektáló eszközök (injection devices). See also injection, intramuscular injection, and aseptic technique.
