The article on amifostine says it can ONLY be administered intravenously but this is NOT TRUE. Subcutaneous injection of amifostine has been shown to have the same cyctoprotective effect in the presence of radiation with reduced severity of side effects. This is easily verified with a little Google searching. PLEASE CORRECT YUR ARTICLE.
