question from a user

Do you find people require a different dose when switching between subcutaneous and intramuscular injections? I've seen comments from people that the subq dose was not as effective and needed higher dose.

AlphaMD's Answer

I would say that needing a different dose when switching from IM to SQ is not typical, though we have seen it a few times. Everyone is different and absorb and metabolize medications differently. But most men use the same dose SQ or IM.
