1) What is a subcutaneous injection syringe?

A subcutaneous injection, also called Sub-Q or SQ injection, is an injection that is given directly into the fatty tissue just under the skin.
In the medical field, subcutaneous injection is recommended and used for the administration of fertility drugs, anticoagulants and insulin in diabetics.
However, in bodybuilding, some performance enhancing drugs and steroids can only be administered via subcutaneous injection.

2) Best subcutaneous injection sites

Before purchasing and using a subcutaneous injection, it is advisable to know the best administration sites:

  • Arms: One of the best areas of the body for subcutaneous injection is the upper arms. The injection site can be on the back or side of the upper arms, usually a minimum of 3 inches above the elbows or 3 inches below the shoulders.
  • Thighs: The thighs are another preferred subcutaneous injection site and administration is usually on the outer side of the upper thighs.
  • Abdomen: The abdominal region is also ideal for subcutaneous injections. Preferred sites are often located above the hip bones or just below the rib cage. Note, however, that the minimum distance between the injection site and the navel should be approximately 5 cm.

Important Notes:

– Make sure that the chosen injection site is healthy before proceeding with a subcutaneous injection. To this end, the site must not have any bruising, redness, swelling, skin lesions or scars.
– Avoid using the same injection site for each subcutaneous injection. Also, make sure that the distance between the old and new subcutaneous injection sites is at least 1 inch. This way, the medicine will be easily absorbed by your body and your skin will remain healthy afterward.

3) Precautions to be taken when using syringes for subcutaneous injection

  • Only a Sub-Q needle should be used for subcutaneous injection. These needles are usually thin and short.
  • You should never use a syringe and needle for subcutaneous injection more than once.
