"Injections given into the upper arm are usually intramuscular or subcutaneous (into the layer of fat between the skin & the muscle). Anticoagulants ARE sometimes given subcutaneously, but of course these routes are also used for lots of other drugs (including vitamin B12, which is needed for red blood cell production), vaccines, etc.

The main reason the shots are likely to be something else altogether is that anticoagulants are quite fast-acting, i.e. if the aim was to thin Bree’s blood to maximise the amount that could be drawn from her (if that’s the kind of thing the ceremony people are in to), this could be achieved with shots starting less than 12 hours before the ceremony. There would be no need for her to have anticoagulant therapy for weeks beforehand.

Also, apart from possible pain at the site of injection and bruising, anticoagulants are not likely to leave Bree feeling awful.

Apart from vitamin B12, for which the dose schedule (what we know of it) seems to make sense, but which also shouldn’t make her feel awful, the other plausible possibility (well, if we are considering a mysterious, possibly blood-letting ritual!) is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoietin erythropoietin] (EPO), which DOES leave a lot of people feeling awful after having it injected - flu-like symptoms, headache, nausea etc. One type ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darbepoetin_alfa darbepoetin]) can be given once weekly."

Bree's injections became the subject of a great deal of debate since the video House Arrest, in which Bree is wearing a bandage because she had to receive an injection.

These are given to her by her father but he claims that he does not know what they contain. Fans have long speculated on the contents and purpose of these injections, but it still remains unclear.

Vitamin B-12

For a long time the leading theory was that the injections contained vitamin B-12 to stimulate blood production. If this were the case, Bree's participation in the ceremony would likely involve blood being drawn from her. Bree's preparation for the ceremony also requires her to take iron supplements, which also aid in the production of blood. In this sense, it's logical to think that the shots may contain vitamin B-12.

Cerebyx and Zosyn

After Daniel posted the video Back At Bree's, fans began to analyse his clip for clues about Bree's ceremony. Two pamphlets caught viewers' eyes. They were on what seemed to be Bree's parents' bed. As Daniel was exploring, he panned his camera across the bed, producing only some blurry shots of the covers of these pamphlets. Fans claim to have identified that they are informative pamphlets for the drugs Cerebyx and Zosyn. Although it's possible that these are indeed the injections that Bree is receiving, it is also true that Bree's father is a doctor, and as such probably has more marketing materials from drug companies than he knows what to do with.

Other suggestions

Viewers have also suspected that the injections contain mood-altering drugs.
