Is There Any Problem For Injecting Air Into The Stomach While Taking Clexane Injection?
Hi, i just gave myself a clexane injection in my stomach. It has air at the end which helps push out all the meds. This time i accidentally had the air bubble in the middle, so all the air was injected into my stomach. Is this dangerous or nothing to worry about? Thanks

H,
A great question!
The air if injected in the subcutaneous area will get absorbed by the body. A this is in a very small amount, nothing serious will happen.
Imagine when we Surgeons stitch the big wounds, so much air is trapped and nothing happens.. ( this is just to give an example).
