Why Dr. Shuler Prescribes Sub-Q instead of IM?

Being a self injection for patients to apply to themselves safely at home, Dr. Shuler feels that Sub-Q shots of HCG are just as effective and much safer then Intramuscular shots are. After treating nearly 10,000 patients with Sub-Q HCG shots, all of HCG Medical’s research in this area, indicate that weight loss results are identical when using Sub-Q shots in place of Intramuscular shots. Additional research has been provided that shows that HCG injections are much more effective then Oral HCG. This drastic difference in weightloss results is due to partially swallowing the daily dosages of a liquid HCG. Due to an extensive track record for amazing HCG weight loss results, HCG Medical strongly recommends HCG injections over liquid HCG. Below are some specifics regarding the differences between Sub-Q and IM injection applications.

Subcutaneous (sub-Q):
What is a subcutaneous (sub-Q) injection? This is a technique to deliver a medication into the soft tissue (fat) immediately underlying the skin and not deep enough to go into muscle.

When to use a Subcutaneous (sub-Q) injection? Medications such as Insulin, HCG, and HGH are normally administered using subcutaneous injections. With the sub-q method it is common to use 27 or 29 gauge, 5/8 inch needle.

Intramuscular (IM):
What is an intramuscular (IM) injection? This is a technique to deliver medication deep into muscle tissue so it can be eventually absorbed into the systemic circulation.

When to use an intramuscular (IM) injection? When injection into your glutes, quads and delts you will be using intramuscular injections. It is recommended to use 22 gauge or 23 gauge 1.5 inch syringe and needle for IM shots. Both oil and water based steroids can be administered this way.
