drug injection
Syringe into vein
Drug injection is the administration of a substance directly into the body using a needle and syringe—into a vein (intravenous), muscle (intramuscular), or under the skin (subcutaneous).
The term often implies illicit drug use: He had track marks from years of drug injection.
In medical contexts, injection bypasses digestion for faster, more controlled absorption.
