L’objectif

A resource for anyone who is injecting tablet medications (pills) and would like to do so more safely.

Constatations/points à retenir

Tablet medications contain fillers (e.g. coatings and powders) that can cause harm when injected, such as serious infections, abscesses and damage to the veins, skin, heart, and lungs. These risks can be reduced by using harm reduction supplies, including filters.
