    GlossaryIntradermal Injections

    involves injecting medication into the skin's dermis layer

    Intradermal injections (ID injections) involve administering a small amount of medication or substance directly into the dermis, the layer of skin just below the outermost layer (epidermis). This method is commonly used for allergy tests and tuberculosis screening because it allows for a slow absorption of the substance and a localized reaction that can be easily observed.
