How Much for an IM

[Father_In]

Can someone tell me when the amount of liquid I want to inject intra-muscular becomes TOO MUCH. (and) What can happen if the liquid isn't clear enough.

I should mention that recently I've been extracting propoxyphene hci and ending up with about 10-15ml of liquid which I then split into two or three (3cc) syringes and injecting my glutes. I welcome comments on this.

That sounds like a lot, how much propox does that represent??

3cc is the maximum amount of liquid that should be given in a single IM injection site, and it should go into deep muscle mass (hips, buttocks, legs). The deltoid should not be used for more than 1cc.
