Where I used to work, the nursing students were taught not to massage SQ injections because it might force the drug into the cutaneous layer (from the underlying fat) and alter its absorption. Often this increases the absorption rate which, depending on the substance administered, might/might not be an important consideration. I know insulin patients are usually told not to massage or squeeze the injection site for this reason.
I'd have to think about the consequence of increasing the absorption of HCG and whether forcing it into the cutaneous layer is a good or bad concept.
Excellent.
When injecting SC with Testosterone the thought was to massage the ester ball out under the skin. I wonder if the absorption rate is of concern here as opposed to other drugs like insulin where uptake rates are critical.
I would think for hCG and Testosterone it wouldn't be such a concern as long as the drug finds its way into the bloodstream.
Thanks man...
