A lung cancer patient was prescribed innohep injection and neubopen injection, both subcutaneous. How are these medicines given if to be injected in the abdomen and in the arms?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
These medications, as you have mentioned, are administered via subcutaneous injection, just like insulin. You need to ask a healthcare professional (like a nurse) demonstrate to you how such injections are given, and how to alternate injection site to avoid excessive skin scarring and poor absorption of the medication.
