MEDICATION INJECTIONS
WHAT ARE MEDICATION INJECTIONS?
If you are suffering from symptoms such as pain, nausea/vomiting, GI upset, or allergies, medication injections are a quick and effective procedure that can offer immediate relief. Given by intramuscular injection, the medication bypasses the digestive system and is able to absorb directly into the bloodstream. This high-quality treatment option at Injx Bar is delivered with a nurturing touch, always with a focus on your comfort and optimal health.
BENEFITS OF MEDICATION INJECTIONS
Rapid Effect
Medication injections deliver medication directly into the bloodstream, resulting in faster relief and treatment than oral medications.
Optimized Absorption
Injections bypass the digestive system, ensuring the body fully utilizes the medication for maximum efficacy.
Higher Bioavailability
Some medications are better absorbed through injection, leading to higher bioavailability compared to oral administration. This means that a larger proportion of the medication reaches its target in an active form.
Consistent Blood Levels
Injections can help maintain a steady concentration of the medication in the bloodstream, providing more consistent therapeutic effects over time. This can be particularly important for managing chronic conditions.
Bypassing Digestive System
Medications taken orally need to pass through the digestive system, where they can be broken down by stomach acids and enzymes, potentially affecting their efficacy. Injections bypass this process, ensuring the medication reaches its target without degradation.
Avoiding First-Pass Metabolism
Many medications taken orally undergo first-pass metabolism in the liver before entering the systemic circulation. Injections can avoid this metabolic process, leading to a higher concentration of active medication reaching the target tissues.
Suitable for Patients with Gastrointestinal Issues
Patients with gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease or frequent nausea, may have difficulty absorbing oral medications. Injections provide an alternative route for medication delivery.
Reduced Frequency of Administration
Some medications require frequent dosing to maintain therapeutic levels in the body. Injections can extend the time between doses, increasing patient compliance and convenience.
Fewer Side Effects
Compared to oral medications, injections often reduce digestive system side effects, offering a more comfortable treatment experience.
TYPES OF MEDICATION INJECTIONS
Toradol
Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It works by reducing inflammation and blocking certain pain signals in the body.
(KETOROLAC)
Zofran
(ONDASTERON)
Zofran belongs to a class of medications known as antiemetics and is commonly used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. Zofran works by blocking certain serotonin receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, which helps to reduce the signals that trigger nausea and vomiting.
Benadryl
(DIPHENHYDRAMINE)
An antihistamine medication commonly used to relieve symptoms of allergies, hay fever, and the common cold, such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. It's also used as a sleep aid due to its sedative effects. Diphenhydramine works by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical released by the body during allergic reactions.
Pepcid
(FAMOTIDINE)
Famotidine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called H2 blockers. It is commonly used to reduce stomach acid production and is often prescribed to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and certain stomach acid-related issues. It can help alleviate symptoms like heartburn, acid indigestion, and stomach discomfort. Famotidine works by blocking the action of histamine on certain cells in the stomach, which reduces the production of stomach acid.
KENALOG
(TRIAMCINOLONE)
Triamcinolone is a corticosteroid medication that is used to treat various inflammatory and allergic conditions. Triamcinolone helps to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response, making it effective for conditions such as skin disorders, allergies, asthma, and certain joint problems.
