Explanation

"Subcutaneous fashion" in medicine refers to a method where a substance, often medication, is introduced under the skin. This is done using a needle and syringe, similar to how a vaccine is given. The substance is deposited into the fatty layer of tissue just beneath the skin, allowing it to be absorbed into the body. This method is often used when a slow, steady absorption of the medication is desired.
