Injectable & Self-Administered Therapies
Expert Support for At-Home Injections
Many modern therapies can be self-administered at home with proper training and support. Our nurses provide comprehensive education, first-dose observation, and ongoing guidance to help you or your caregiver confidently manage injectable medications.
Subcutaneous Injections
Subcutaneous (under the skin) injections are commonly used for biologics, immunoglobulins, and other therapies that patients can learn to self-administer.
- SCIG (Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin)
- Biologic medications (adalimumab, etanercept, etc.)
- Growth hormones
- Anticoagulants (enoxaparin, fondaparinux)
Intramuscular Injections
Some medications require intramuscular delivery. Our nurses can administer these or train caregivers on proper technique when appropriate.
- Vitamin B12 injections
- Testosterone therapy
- Certain antibiotics
- Immunizations when ordered
Patient & Caregiver Education
Successful self-administration starts with thorough education. We ensure you understand every aspect of your injection therapy.
- Medication storage and handling
- Injection site selection and rotation
- Proper technique demonstration
- Recognizing and reporting side effects
