"Subcutaneous injections are used by heroin addicts (called 'skin popping', referring to the bump formed by the bolus of heroin), to sustain a slow release that staves off withdrawal symptoms without producing euphoria."
I've been around a lot of heroin addicts, and I've never heard of anyone doing that... --

First, half of this article looks like a disambiguation page. Bolus, as it applies to medical pharmacology, is the street name for loading dose: to reach an optimum drug activity. I think they should be merged.
Agree : Merge. --

I disagree, as an RN and Student Nurse Anesthetist, I know that not all drugs are loaded as injections. Using Digoxin as an example, it may be loaded by both the tablet/capsule form, as well as injectible. The clinical usage of the word bolus, would not apply to taking P.O. meds--unless the meds were given in solution enterally (via NG tube). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ataraxiatwo ( talk • contribs) 12:35, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
