how long should a patient wait after receiving an injection?

that depends completely on what the injection is, for what purpose it was administered, and what activity is being discussed.

It can usually take up to 18 months for your body to get regulated again once off depo.  As it has been 5 years, then both you and your partner need to see your doctor for an  exam, and possibly get a referral to a fertility specialist.

Recently prepared to me would be a day or two. Freshly prepared would me they just made it 10 minutes ago or so. You would only say this is you were making IV fluid or you were compounding something (making a suspension, solution, eye drops, ointment, creams, vaccines, etc). \n\nThe guy above me is talking about compounding medication. I compound medication at the hospital. Sometimes a medication will only come in a tablet form. If the patient is unconscious or for some reason can't take a tablet, sometimes we can crush it (depending on the med) and make it into a suspension. This is usually done in a hospital or a pharmacy that specializes in it. Your local Walgreen's or Osco usually doesn't do this.\n\nHope that answered your question.

Flu-like signs and symptoms are not uncommon (fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, chills, and joint pain) at the beginning of therapy.  Tylenol 650 mg. may be taken immediately before injection, and for another 24 hours after each injection to lessen these symptoms.  It's impossible to predict how long these symptoms will last (some people get them for the first month or two of therapy, and others have them all the time).  One adverse effect of this drug is suicide tendency... if you think that your friend is in trouble, please contact your local suicide hotline for assistance.

It takes 2 - 3 days unless you injected and that will take longer to clear.  The water would not have made any difference!\nIf you had a clear 9 days before the test you should be OK....;

It is a shot, and you have your doctor give it to you on the first or second day of your period, but no later. If you wait more than two days, you have to wait until your next period to take it. Keep in mind that this is a shot, not a pill. Once you take it, you are not due for another one for three months. Also, google depo-provera..there is a website called "depo-provera horror stories". Just look into it before you take it. It never hurts to be well informed.

I think the timeline is somewhere like 3-6 months. You should probably wait a good while so your body has time to heal. Do what your doc recommends. Don't get anxious, take your time.

Usually in the arm and it doesn't hurt until AFTER the shot.  You'll find your arm will get sorer for a few hours after the shot.  However, it usually feels better the next day.

it gets less as the days go by. wait about 4 more days. don't forget that is like you had an operation. most of the times they have to make incisions to pulled them out, but unless you see redness, and get fever, there is no infection. perhaps they had to stitch you up, most of the times they do. ease up on the vicodin, perhaps ibuprofen would help you, in case there is inflammation. there are 800 mg of ibuprofen, ask the pharmacist.\n\ngood luck.

I suggest you call your pharmacist and ASK. You should have been provided with information when the prescription was filled. If not, ASK FOR IT.

Hi there !\nFollowing , as normal causes , could be thought about :\n=wrong technique  (preparation of the area etc)\n=wrong person (lack of expertise)\n=wrong area (wrong choice of area)\n=wrong equipment (non-sterile or improperly  \n   sterilised syringes and needles)\n\nwrong technique = technique involves the cleaning of the area with betadine, and alcohol with sterile cotton swabs etc. if not properly done, chances for injection abscess is there .\n\nwrong person = there is a lot of difference between injection done by a doctor ,            staff nurse and a nursing asistant ..agreed ?\n\nwrong area = all medicines cannot be injected at the deltoid area. muscle thickness, how much irritant the medicine is .. etc makes difference ...eg: Tetanus Toxoid causes vague discomfort for couple of hours after the injection. such medicines when  given at a more bulky muscular area, it is better !\n\nwrong equipment = the words explain by itself ..\n\nIf at all it occurs, early diagnosis is very important ! For this "early diagnosis" to be made,  proper "past medical history" of the patient is very important !\n\nbest wishes !

If someone was to give you a drug test and you wanted to make sure adderall was not in your system, you should wait at least 3 days.  That should be enough time

It'll take up to 2 weeks, but I've been on that before and it did nothing for me, so it all just depends on the person and if that medication is really right for you or not. I'd give it another week or so and dr.'s will tell you to give it a month...

start immediately on postexposure prophylaxis wit antivirals even if tests are negative. the tests may take a few weeks to show positive for the hiv.

You should become concerned after 48 hours.  Post surgical oozing is not uncommon, thus, the 48 hour wait.  Also, post surgical anxiety is a normal reaction.

When you receive the pneumococcal injection they inject you with a fractional polysaccharide.  This is essentially just a small portion of the bacteria.  It is unable to cause disease.  As it is introduced into your body your immune system will create an immune response to it.  This is the same response we get with anything foreign our body is fighting which can cause aches and pains, chills and even fever.  People will vary with their immune response.  You will also get a sore/stiff muscle due to the trauma from injection.  This will go away after a period of time.  To reduce the pain and swelling you could take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen and put ice on the swollen spot.  An allergic reaction will usually occur within the first 5 minutes after injection.  Sometime an allergy will present itself as delayed onset, this is usually 2-4 hours after injection.  An allergic reaction will most commonly present itself as a rash, itching, swelling of extremities and trouble breathing (shortness of breath).  It sounds like your having the common injection site reaction.  It should get better.  Hope this helps
