They are pregnancy support injections and needed in all high risk cases ,cases above 30 yrs of age,IVF cases or cases of threatened abortion,yes they are a bit painful as they are oil based but they should not be ignored.You may use thrombophob ointment to reduce pain and lump if formed ,at the injection site .
