Tag: Hgh injections

While intramuscular (IM) injections provide faster absorption of HGH due to the rich blood supply in muscle tissue, this method is not the standard of care for prescribed human growth hormone therapy and carries significant risks. Understanding the medical implications, including potential pain, complications, and the stark comparison with safer subcutaneous methods, is vital for anyone considering this medication.

According to a study published in *Hormone Research in Paediatrics*, some children receiving growth hormone (GH) treatment experience pain during injection, which can negatively impact compliance. Given that most hGH shots are administered via small, shallow subcutaneous injections, the direct injection pain is often minimal, though several factors can influence the overall experience.
