What You Need to Know About Suppositories and Why They Can Work for You

When it’s time to take your medicine, how many of us actually consider which method is best? Medicine can be consumed in a variety of ways such as swallowing a pill, getting a shot, or drinking the medicine in liquid form. In some cases, taking medicine a certain way can determine its effectiveness. A suppository is an alternative to taking medicine orally. This small, cone-shaped or round medicine is inserted into the rectum or vagina where it dissolves and releases medication into the body.

Why Take a Suppository?

The idea of taking a suppository might not sound very pleasant, but for many, it’s the best choice for receiving the medication they need. It’s the best option for people who have gag reflexes, trouble swallowing, or for taking medicine not easily absorbed by the stomach or intestines.

Like some oral medication, suppositories use gelatin or cocoa butter to surround the active drug ingredients. After insertion, the body’s natural heat melts the surrounding layer and the active ingredients are slowly released into the body. The medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream and travels throughout the body.

Suppositories are used to treat a variety of conditions:

• To treat allergies
