Can a needle be reused on same person?

It is not recommended to reuse a needle on the same person, even for multiple injections, as it can increase the risk of infection and other health complications. Reusing needles can damage the needle tip, which can lead to pain and discomfort during injection. Additionally, reusing needles can increase the risk of spreading blood-borne infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.

It is important to use a new sterile needle for each injection to ensure safety and to prevent potential health risks.
