Method: It is designed a summary table of drugs likely to be administered subcutaneously in palliative care patients through the revision of the technical reports of the manufacturers and other literature published by scientific organizations, in addition to the literature search on Pubmed® and Micromedex®. Results: We have reviewed 65 drugs and a guide has been developed of recommendations depending on whether there is information of his administration by subcutaneous or, if on the contrary, its use is contraindicated.
