Intramuscular injection, often abbreviated IM, is the injection of a substance into a muscle.In medicine, it is one of several methods for parenteral administration of medications. Intramuscular injection may be preferred because muscles have larger and more numerous blood vessels than subcutaneous tissue, leading to faster absorption than subcutaneous or intradermal injections.

Skin popping is a route of administration of street drugs where they are injected or deposited under the skin. It is usually a depot injection, either subcutaneous or intradermal, and not an intramuscular injection.After deposition, the drug then diffuses slowly from the depot into the capillary networks, where it enters circulation.Skin popping is distinct from intravenous …
