Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
I suppose you are talking about Interferon injections.
They are given subcutaneously usually.
But you should get him injections only under experts guidance as reactions are common with the injections.
Also, blood counts have to be monitored accordingly.
This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy
