below is a link to different methods of drug administration;

Every drug delivery system will have pluses and minuses.One of the minuses of subcutaneous infusions according to the article is it can be painful. This brings back to the super26 needle. It allows a smaller less painful needle to be used. Kudos to andy.

On the plus side, subcutaneous has more complete absorption. More absorption can translate into smaller doses and less toxic side effects. I also believe the subcutaneous tend to stay in the body for longer periods of time (compared to iv delivery). It gives the drug more time to do its thing. Again the rms system, because of its design, has a relatively even flow rate. This is another plus.

i hope this was useful and educational.
