Do you prefer taking tablets or injections?

Some people won't take medicine especially if it is swallowing tablets. Some people prefer taking tablets and won't accept getting administered with a syringe.
Some medicines are only effective when directly injected to your blood. I don't wish for anyone to be sick but I would like to know your preference when it comes to taking medicine. :)

@mildredtabitha Most people do not like that pain and the syringe itself.

I hope that I don't ever need medications but If I do I would prefer tablets over injections.
Matthew 9:12 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) 12 Jesus heard them say this. So he said to them, “It is the sick people who need a doctor, not those who are healthy.

@mildredtabitha I think that's we all hope but when we do get sick we appreciate competent doctors.

@mildredtabitha he should be injected by a light hand nurse, that one who pricks without pain.
i developed that skill from the hospital where i worked as the head nurse.

@Phelly02 It is understandable for when you were a child. :) Most children are always stubborn but all the fear ends after growing up :)

@mildredtabitha Hahaha, thanks it's because when I was a child there would be 2 or 3 nurses holding me cause I kept on struggling since I'm too afraid of syringe. When I'm hospitalized which basically every year they always give me injection. So I say i"m immune to syringe now. lol.

I'm not afraid of needles but if I have the choice of taking tablets then I would choose tablets of course.

That's nice. I would also choose taking tablets over injections because it is easy to discontinue medicine if it doesn't work. With injections, you can't reverse it if it turns out to be wrong medicine

Tablet over syringe any day. I do have one medication I take by IV.

@mildredtabitha Don't read that as a Roman numeral, each letter separate. I V, something they put in your arm to give you medication.

@just4him Now I get it. I have also had that on my hand few years back. They would leave a small syringe on my hand and then they put medicine through that hole without removing the syringe

@JolietJake Which part of the body did you receive the injection?
@mildredtabitha (16051)
• Nairobi, Kenya

@JolietJake I agree. It all depends with how gentle the doctor is. I prefer getting injections on my arm. The one I hate is getting injection on my butt. :)

I always hope not to have these two options but I would prefer a one time injection. I never finish my dose of tablets.

The good think about injection is the medicine goes directly into your system

For my Diabetes I prefer a Pen or injection as in Insulin. Pills did nothing for me, and a pen is a lot easier to remember to do.

Nice. 
Tablets do not have that much effect and that is why they are subscribed for us to take many days

Sorry about that. I also prefer tablets. It seems some medicines don't have tablets made of them and so we don't have an option

@Ithink Yes they should. Injections might look like a shortcut to getting medicine into our body but it is very risky.

I agree with you that injections work faster and it is because the medicine goes directly into your blood. What I don't like about is that the medicine cannot be reversed
