A member asked:
Can hydroxyzine be safely injected into the outer thigh? or is it preferred in the gluteal muscles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no: reason to select gluteal over outer thigh. The idea is to have a larger area to allow a larger (or more viscous) preparation! Hope this helps! DrZ
