Hi Lucieb01. Those will work fine for deep subcutaneous injections. You can still use the usual intramuscular injection places -- the outer side of your upper arm, or the outer side of the central/middle/midway part of your thigh, over that muscle in there -- as injection sites.

So glad for you that you have finally got a diagnosis and are getting started with treatment. Hoping you will soon feel so much better!

Half an inch will be too short for IM. As Hidden says, they should be fine for subcutaneous.

Not what you're looking for?
