What Compounded Suppositories Treat and How to Use Them?

Our body has a systemic way of flushing out toxins and unnecessary residues to maintain balance in our health.

To promote good health, we must have fully functioning body organs, especially the organs responsible for taking out wastes in the body. These systems in our body (urinary and digestive systems) are more prone to many infections when their illnesses are left untreated.

The administration of medicine comes in different forms—oral, inhalation, nasal, optic, intra-dermal, or dermal, among others. The primary function of each route of administration is to make sure that the medication will be absorbed faster by the affected area.

One type of medication is the suppository. Myerlee Pharmacy discusses how suppositories work and what compounded suppositories can do for you.

What are Suppositories?

The suppository is one type of medication administered through the rectum and vagina. Once dissolved, the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes of these body cavities. This method of delivery is used when oral administration is not possible or less effective. Suppositories are also more likely to be safer than oral medications because they bypass liver metabolism and do not hurt the gastrointestinal cavity, preventing gastrointestinal sensitivity.

Suppositories are highly beneficial in treating hemorrhoids and vaginal infections. They are also used to pass out food residues in the body to ensure the digestive tract is clean before performing a medical procedure. A suppository can also be taken by a person with severe vomiting problems, those with issues taking solid medications, and unconscious patients.

Why Take Compounded Suppositories?

Everyone is unique, and the dosage for each person must be met. It is highly recommended that patients take compounded medicines from compounding pharmacies because they receive the exact dosage of medication used to treat diseases. It avoids the error of cutting tablets for under dosage or overdosage, which can cause several adverse reactions to the body that add up to the injury instead of treating it.
