The answer

Intravenous injections during Ramadan do not invalidate the fast. If it is possible to take the medication accompanying the injection at night, that is preferable. However, if it is necessary to take it during the day to avoid an illness or its worsening, then breaking the fast is permissible, and one must make up for those days. If one is unable to make up for them, then one must feed a poor person for each day.
