There will be some English abbreviations on the doctor's list, which are derived from Latin. Knowing these abbreviations is helpful for better treatment and rehabilitation, and IH stands for subcutaneous injection.
Subcutaneous injection refers to injecting liquid medicine into subcutaneous tissue. The abbreviation of IH is often used on the list of doctors. The commonly used injection sites are the upper arm and the outer thigh. For example, insulin is easily destroyed by digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract and loses its function, while subcutaneous injection absorbs it quickly.

Extended data:
As early as15th century, Italian Cartier put forward the principle of syringe. But it was not until 1657 that British Boyle and Ryan conducted the first human experiment. Abel, a surgeon in the army of French King Louis XVI (reigned 1774- 1792), also conceived a piston syringe. But it is generally believed that Pravoz of France was the inventor of the syringe. The syringe he supervised in 1853 is silver, with a capacity of only 1 ml and a threaded piston rod.
Ferguson, an Englishman, was the first to use a glass syringe. The transparency of the glass is good, and you can see the injection of drugs. Since then, syringes made of glass tube metal can be sterilized by boiling, and needles can also be sharpened for reuse and disinfection. The existing syringes are all plastic and can be thrown away at one time, which greatly reduces the risk of infection during injection. In order to ensure hygiene and prevent cross infection, most contemporary syringes are made of plastic. Aseptic technology is very important in the injection process.
