Demerol Injection Sites: IV vs. IM Administration

Intravenous (IV) Administration:

>Demerol (meperidine) can be administered through the intravenous (IV) route, allowing for rapid onset of action.

Intramuscular (IM) Administration:

>The drug can also be given by intramuscular (IM) injection, which leads to slower drug absorption compared to IV administration. This route can provide an option in situations where IV access is not readily available.
