Morphology
injectable = injectable (transparent) = inject + able
The noun use is a straightforward conversion from the adjective 'injectable', which itself is transparently built from 'inject' + '-able'.
Etymology
Injectable has the same parts: in- 'into', -ject 'throw', and -able 'can be'. So an injectable is a medicine that is made to be 'put into' the body with a needle, rather than taken as a pill.
