This has the fastest rate of absorption among the sites. The front of the thigh, midway to the outer side, 4 inches below the top of the thigh to 4 inches above the knee. This has a slower rate of absorption than the upper arm. The upper back. The upper area of the buttock, just behind the hip bone. This has the slowest rate of absorption among the sites.
