Hi,
Ideally 24 gaze needle comes for Intramuscular injections and it should be taken best in the muscular part so that pain will be less mostly in the gluteal (buttocks) area. If it is recommended intravenous then cubital vein are the best. Go as per the doctors prescription and take it by medical professionals.
Hope this might be helpful to you.
