A member asked:
Depo provera- does it matter if injection site was pinched when administering shot? worried it might have gotten into fat and not muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If intramuscular injection is appropriately done with perpendicular insertion of a needle of appropriate sized length, skin pinching or not does not make any difference.
