What is Subcutaneous Administration?

Subcutaneous administration refers to the method of injecting substances directly into the layer of skin between the dermis and the muscle. This route is often used for medications that require a slow and sustained release into the bloodstream, as the subcutaneous tissue has a lower blood supply than muscle tissue. In toxicology, SC administration is used to study the pharmacokinetics and potential toxic effects of compounds.
