Why, when you have an injection do you sometimes have it in the arm and sometimes in the bottom??
Thanks in advance.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Very few people will give injections into the buttocks these days mainly due to higher levels of fat cells in this area making it more difficult to reach muscle.
Injections are designed to be given intravenously (directly into a vein); subcutaneously (just under the skin) or intramuscularly (into muscle). In general this is more easly controlled by injecting into an arm (or thigh, in young children) If a substance is injected into fat instead of muscle, the absorption is poorer due to lower blood flow through fat.
