Injection or pill???

January 15, 2008 6:20am CST
everybody at one point of his life had become ill. He has gone to the doctor and the doctor had gave to him a cure for his illnes. When i become ill I like to take pills instead of injection. Injections are more efective in the treatment of the illnes 'cause the medicine is assorbed directly from the blood. But its more painful that the pills. What about you, which of them do you prefer?

Well it's not up to what someone prefers, but what is needed at the moment. I know everybody would prefer pills over injections. But there are medicines that sometimes cause damage to the gastrointestinal system, which can cause even bigger pain (for example some painkillers can cause perforation of the stomach or the intestines), so injection is less painful in those cases. Personally, even as a kid I was brave when it comes to injections. And I don't want to take pills, only if they are absolutely needed.

I am terrified of needles, so I prefer pills... but I have been so sick the last week and a half that I'm wishing there was an injection that would make me better

Same with you, whenever possible I'd take the pill rather than the injection. Sometimes when it's so painful I can't move my arm for about 10 to 15 minutes.

If a pill can heal the illness, I won't choose to have an injection. In fact I am quite afraid of having an injection. It is not that painful, frankly. But I am just very scared of it.
