Suppository
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Suppositories)
A suppository is a medicine that is inserted either into the rectum (rectal suppository), vagina (vaginal suppository) or urethra (urethral suppository) where it dissolves. The alternative term for delivery of medicine via such routes, is as a pharmaceutical pessary.
Vaginal suppositories are used to treat gynaecological ailments, especially vaginal infections such as candidiasis, or as vaginal contraceptives.
