In general, it is better never to inject the following:
1. VITAMINS. Rarely are injected vitamins any better than vitamins taken by mouth. Injections are more expensive and more dangerous. Use vitamin pills or syrups rather than injections. Better still, eat foods rich in vitamins.
2. LIVER EXTRACT, VITAMIN B¹² AND IRON INJECTIONS (such as imferon). Do not inject them ! Ferrous sulfate pills will do more good good for almost all cases of anamia.
3. CALCIUM. Injected into a vein calcium is extremely dangerous, if not given very slowly. An injection in the buttock may cause a large abscess. Untrained people should never inject calcium.( Don't allow untrained person to inject you).
4. PENICILLIN. Nearly all injections that require penicillin can be effectively treated with penicillin taken by mouth. Penicillin is more dangerous when injected. Use injectable penicillin only for dangerous infections.
5. PENICILLIN WITH STREPTOMYCIN. As a general rule, avoid this combined medicine. Never use it for colds or the flu.
6. CHLORAMPHENICOL OR TETRACYCLINE. These medicines do as much or more good when taken by mouth. Use capsules or syrups rather than injections.
7. INTRAVENOUS SOLUTIONS. These should be used only for severe dehydration and given only by someone who is well trained. When not given correctly they can cause dangerous infections or death.
NOTE: Be careful on the type of injection you take and the type of person that you will allow yo inject you.
