Injection is a technique for delivering drugs by parenteral administration, that is, administration via a route other than through the digestive tract . Parenteral injection includes subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intracardiac, intraarticular and intracavernous injection . </P> <P> Injection is generally administered as a bolus, but can possibly be used for continuous drug administration as well . Even when administered as a bolus, the medication may be long - acting, and can then be called depot injection . Administration by an indwelling catheter is generally preferred instead of injection in case of more long - term or recurrent drug administration . </P>
