Intramuscular injection of drugs .. Drugs and vaccines that do not absorb orally, such as aminoglycoside, insulin and hepatitis vaccines



After the intramuscular injection, drugs must pass one or more vital membranes to reach the systemic circulation.
Intramuscular injections are used primarily for non-absorbent drugs and vaccines such as aminoglycosides, insulin and hepatitis vaccines. The speed of the intramuscular pathway is usually used for adjuvant therapies and specialized signals developed to provide slow delivery of drugs in this way, such as water slides, oil ointments, complexions and conservatives of the microencapsulation class.
