Injection is a method of parenteral administration into the body of drugs and diagnostics agents, in the form of solutions or suspensions using a syringe or other injectors. This method of administration drugs is widely used in medical practice, especially in emergency cases when oral administration of drugs is not possible, therefore every medical professional must be educated in injection techniques.
