absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound

is a small air bubble in the barrel a problem subcutaneously
a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it

do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for
