If absorption from cream isn’t effective, you may consider the following alternatives:

  • Intramuscular Injections (IM): Typically injected into the thigh, bicep, or buttock once a week. Your pharmacy will provide needles and instructions.
  • Subcutaneous Injections (SC): Injected into the belly, thigh, or muscle twice a week. This less common method is gaining popularity for its convenience.
  • Divided Doses: Splitting doses across multiple injections can help improve mid-level absorption.

Your practitioner will guide you to the best option based on your response to treatment.
