Can it be dangerous to insert the needle too shallow while I am being given Neoparin?
I didn't stick the whole Neoparin needle in and I depressed the plunger. Will something happen to me? Is there any danger to this? I'm very worried

If this happened, the drug could be administered not so much intramuscularly as into the subcutaneous tissue.
If the situation is a one-off, please do not worry and make sure that subsequent doses are administered correctly.
I would like to emphasize that you must not administer another dose, but follow the dosage recommended by your doctor and perform the next injection according to the schedule.
Incorrect administration increases the risk of the drug not working.
The manufacturer of the drug recommends that when injecting, the entire needle should be inserted into the skin fold and that the skin fold should be held between the fingers when pressing the plunger.
I'm sending you a link to a video with instructions on how to properly perform such an injection:
