Doctor is giving an injection in a woman's upper arm

Injection

When you have an injection, fluid (for example medicine or a liquid drug) is put into your body using a hypodermic needle. You may have an injection into a vein or into the muscle in your arm, or into the muscle of your thigh or buttock.

Injeksjon

Dersom du får en injeksjon, vil du få en væske (for eksempel en flytende medisin) sprøytet inn i kroppen via en nål. En injeksjon kan settes i en vene eller i muskel i armen, hofta eller i rumpa.
