[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1248501, member: 19938"] Nope. Sub Q (Sub Cutaneous Fat) is the fat layer between the sub dermal layer and the muscle. You should not "see a bump under the skin" unless the med irritated the tissue, you exceeded the recommended amount per injection site, or you were too shallow and injected into the dermis. In other words no fat, no Sub Q space. That is why location is important. "Under the skin" (as you stated) is called sub dermal. There are things that we inject sub dermal, such as TB tests. (And you will see a bubble under the skin.) But not vaccines or meds.. The idea is to inject into the fat layer that will be discarded during processing. Also, each area has it's own absorption rate for the drugs. Intramuscular absorption is much quicker than sub Q. Though many drugs will damage muscle tissue. [/QUOTE]
