There isn't one single formula for all injections. The appropriate formula depends heavily on the context. We can break this down into several categories:
1. Dosage Calculation for Medication Injections
This is the most common interpretation of the question. The formula for calculating the correct volume of medication to inject is:
Desired dose (amount) = Ordered dose amount / Amount on hand x Quantity
or more simply:
D/H x Q = x
- D: Desired dose (the dose the doctor ordered)
- H: Dose on hand (the concentration of the medication in the vial or ampoule)
- Q: Quantity (the volume in which the dose on hand is available)
- x: Volume to be administered
Example: A doctor orders 80mg of Pethidine I.M. The stock ampoules contain 100mg in 2ml.
Using the formula: 80mg / 100mg x 2ml = 1.6ml
Therefore, 1.6ml of Pethidine should be drawn up. (Source: Calculating the volume for injections)
Another approach for percentage solutions is: "mg/ml = % x 10". For example, a 2.27% solution would be 22.7 mg/mL (Source: How to Calculate a Dose of Injectable Medication).
2. Preventing Formula Injection in Data (CSV Injection)
This refers to a security vulnerability where malicious code is injected into a CSV file that is then processed by a web application. There is no single formula to prevent this, but rather secure coding practices are needed. These include proper sanitization of user inputs before they are included in the CSV file.

3. Formulas Related to Injection Molding
In manufacturing, formulas exist for calculating parameters in injection molding processes such as melt flow rate and cycle time. These formulas are specific to the injection molding process and the materials involved, and aren't relevant to medical injections. (Source: Injection Molding Formulas)
4. Lethal Injection Protocols
In the context of capital punishment, lethal injection protocols involve a series of drugs, and there is no single "formula". Each jurisdiction or state may have a different combination and dosage. (Source: Overview of Lethal Injection Protocols)
The term "formula for injections" is therefore ambiguous. The correct formula depends entirely on the context.
