Can Intramuscular Injection Be Taken Orally?

Posted on Tue, 27 Dec 2016

Question: I tried to inject Depot provera in my thigh but I started bleeding. I tried to inject in my buttock but didn't put needle full inside so solution didn't go into muscle. Can I use the same needle again? Can I have the intramuscular solution orally?
