Medicine that goes in the vein is absorbed more quickly and directly.

Intramuscular shots may be given in different muscles such as in the arm or ventrogluteal area (near your butt). The arm muscle is easiest, but is recommended only for smaller amounts of medicine. The vg/butt muscle is good for larger amount of medicine due to being a larger muscle.
