Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Choosing the proper site is necessary for proper absorption of the medicine and avoidance of injury. Use a site on your body that has a large, easily markable muscle and has little fatty tissue covering it.
Deltoid Muscle
Vastus Lateralis Muscle
Ventrogluteal Muscle
Dorsogluteal Muscle
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
Warm Regards
