A member asked:
What could happen if i accidentally injected glass particles of an ampoule for intramusculary injection ? the ampoule didn't broke in the right way. what symptoms should i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is very unlikely that the particles will enter the blood stream. Your body would wall off these foreign bodies and, often, will gradually push them out or if they remain within muscle a sterile or infected abscess could develop.
