[ 3 ] Dose-normalized nandrolone exposure (serum level divided by dose administered) with nandrolone decanoate in oil solution by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection in men.
Needle insertion angles for 4 types of injection: intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, and intradermal.

Using the proper, intramuscular-injection technique for olanzapine pamoate helps to decrease the risk of PDSS, though it does not eliminate it entirely. [63] This is why the FDA advises that people who are injected with olanzapine pamoate be watched for 3 hours after administration, in the event that PDSS occurs.
Administered by intramuscular injection, the endometrial transformation dosage of hydroxyprogesterone caproate per cycle is 250 to 500 mg, and the weekly substitution dosage of hydroxyprogesterone caproate is 250 mg, while the effective dosage of hydroxyprogesterone caproate in the menstrual delay test (Greenblatt) is 25 mg per week.
The two techniques Travell described are the injection of a local anesthetic and the mechanical use of a hypodermic needle without injecting a solution. [8] Travell preferred a, 1.5-in hypodermic needle for trigger point therapy and used this needle for both injection therapy and dry needling. Travell never used an acupuncture needle.
