Methods of applying Diprospan - injections in the knee, heel, nose
The dosage of the drug and the duration of the course of treatment is determined by a specialist. To solve some problems, one-time injection is enough, while others require full-fledged treatment, which lasts several weeks.
Usually diprospan is administered intramuscularly. But sometimes it is much more effective to inject directly into the focus of inflammation.
For example, very often the injections of Diprospan are made into the joints:
- hip;
- brachial;
- knee.
It is very difficult to inject the joint correctly, therefore, only professionals should do such injections.
Using Diprospan, heel spurs are treated. In this case, the medicine sticks right into the heel. This procedure, of course, is not the most pleasant, but effective. Unlike other drugs, Diprospan does not provoke necrosis or tissue atrophy.

When the drug is administered intramuscularly, the maximum dose does not exceed two milliliters. When injections directly into the center of the disease, the allowable injection rate decreases to one milliliter.
Injections are considered painless, but sometimes after a nyxis, there is pain. To avoid unpleasant sensations during and after the procedure, in some cases it is possible to administer Diprospan along with an anesthetic.
