basically it means that you’re supposed to inject it into your muscles instead of into your subcutaneous body fat or veins or wherever else you might do an injection
I ask because my doctor gave me the option between intramuscular and subcutaneous, and we agreed subcutaneous would be way easier, but the prescription i got is needles for subcutaneous injection and a vial that says “for intramuscular use only”, so im confused.
This is normal. I’ve been injecting “intramuscular use only” valerate oil subcutaneously in my stomach for a year now and my levels are good. I think doing transgender hrt with this stuff is using it off label anyway, so the packaging might not reflect it.

idk you’d have to ask a big nerd who did medical school about that
Fair point.
Yeah theres no diffrent medication for intramuscular vs subcutaneous, only diffrent needle sizes and injection techniques.
