A member asked:
I know some injection sites must not be washed or contacted with water till the next day.does it apply to hydroxi progesterone caproate(makena) shots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I do not think so.: All injection sites including intramuscularly injected hydroxyprogesterone should be done on a surface that was previously cleaned for example with alcohol. Cleaning that same area at a later time by washing with water/ soap should not be a problem.
