B-12 injectables usinginslulin needles
by Steelworker, Oct 06, 2009 12:20PM
Can anyone share with me the best way to administer a B 12 shot utilizing an insulin 100u syringe? Where would be the best place to inject to insure IM absorption?
Thanks

If you're going to do it I would suggest you research it thoroughly plus use sterile equipment. Probably for IM I would choose a large muscle. The thigh might be the most accessible.
In all honesty, I don't think you should be doing this (or even thinking about doing it). I think you should be discussing this with your health professional and if the shot is warranted them let them administer it.
I think this is very, very stupid and very, very dangerous.
