SEC-S16 / W2 | How do you like it better? injected Or orally?💉💊

Hey Steemian friends!

Well to be honest I don't really want both but when the pain hits, we all want the fastest exit, right? so we have to decide one and let's see whether through the question of this contest we can choose one.

^{Awaiting for that needle 😬}

💉💊 Which of these three routes of medication administration do you consider the fastest and most effective to relieve pain, why?

When it comes to speed and efficiency, I think it must be injections because Injected medications can directly go into our bloodstream. This direct supply ensures that the medication's potency is unleashed promptly, providing a swift and effective response to pain.

On the other hand, Oral medications takes time to go through our body and digestive system to kick in. So there's a question about the pain relief speed rather than the efficiency.

However, even the efficiency can be debatable because of the precision. Injections deliver the medication right where they're needed, hitting the target with almost pinpoint accuracy. So, when you're craving for quick relief, recommended injection could be your best option to save the day or at least, save you from the agony and discomfort.

💉💊 There are two ways to administer injected treatment, intravenous and intramuscular. Which of them do you prefer in case you need quick relief or discomfort?

Well to answer that I had to google what's these different options are. To those who are just like me this is what two words mean,

Intravenous (IV): These injections involve delivering medication directly into a vein which allow medication to enter the bloodstream rapidly. This method is often chosen for medications that require immediate effects or precise dosage control.

Intramuscular (IM): These injections involve delivering medication into a muscle and then slowly absorbed into the bloodstream. It's a slower option than IV. This method is commonly used for vaccines, antibiotics, and certain types of medications that can be absorbed effectively through the muscles.

So which one I prefer! I really don't know. Both need skin penetration through a needle and that's concerning. But IV seems to be working fast as to Google. It's a kind of VIP entrance for medicines where no waiting around, so why not choosing it if I want quick relief.

💉💊 There is a very good medicine for our body vitamin B12, why do you think they indicate it more in injection and not in pills? Do you think they do not have the same components or the same effect?

Google comes to the rescue again! I feel so naive while I write this post. So what does this vitamin B12 has anything to do with injections?

Answer is "Absorption"

Some bodies seems to be picky when it comes to absorbing B12 through the digestive system. In an injection, B12 takes a direct detour into the bloodstream, ensuring that our body gets its vitamin boost without the hurdles of digestion. So even though pills might have same components, the effect of the vitamin absorb levels can be different. Now you know if your health team suggests the needle for your B12 fix, that it's not just about the method but about ensuring your body gets the treatment it deserves for optimal well-being.

💉💊 If you are one of those who do not take pills and you do not like injections, what other method are you looking for to relieve pain or discomfort!?

When I was little I loved those syrups 😍 I still do... so syrups, balms or simple home remedies could be hassle-free and tasty options.

But we have to aware that how our body reacts to all these medication. If it is necessary to take pills or those horrible shots, we have to take them in order to get a lifeline. Remember that these modes of medications are not just about our comfort, they're about ensuring our body receives the care it needs to thrive.
