Intracutaneous

Intracutaneous administration is a method of delivering a drug directly to the skin, bypassing the systemic bloodstream. This method is used to treat various skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and others.

Intracutaneous injection is performed using a special syringe with a thin needle, which is inserted into the skin to a depth of 1 mm. The drug is injected directly into the dermis, which allows it to quickly and effectively reach its destination.

The advantages of intracutaneous administration include rapid effect, low incidence of side effects, and the ability to deliver drugs to hard-to-reach areas of the skin such as joints or mucous membranes.

However, this method has some limitations associated with the risk of infection if the injection is performed incorrectly or damage to blood vessels. In addition, intracutaneous injection may be painful for the patient.

Overall, intracutaneous injection is an effective treatment for skin conditions and can be used in combination with other treatment modalities. However, before performing an intracutaneous injection, the risks and benefits of this treatment method must be carefully assessed.
