Hello maldang. The injection is given be because it works very quickly. The tablet takes longer to desolve get into a persons system. Depending if a person needs immediate relief, the injection would be administered and then, the pill/tablet would be given to take follow up as the medication, and then there would be no need to continue to give another injection. Best of wishes,pledge
