Injections containing vitamins and other substances, administered intravenously or subcutaneously, do not invalidate the fast if they are for treatment and not for nourishment. As for nutritional injections, they break the fast because they are equivalent to consuming food and drink, and are considered a stratagem to break the fast. It is preferable to take injections at night if possible.
