Candles (suppositories) are rectal, the advantages of this form of medicines

In medicine, various forms of medicines are used: tablets, injectable solutions, capsules, suppositories, powders, ointments, etc. Each of the species has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as side effects.

In this article I would like to consider suppositories (suppositories) rectal, how much they are better than other forms and why they have their effect more quickly. Today, in this form, they release not only drugs against constipation, but also immunomodulators, anesthetics, antibiotics, both for adults and children.

Advantages of candles

Medicinal substances that enter the body of the patient through the gastrointestinal tract, lose their activity due to the action of hydrochloric acid and enzymes, in addition, they begin their action no earlier than 20 minutes after ingestion. The drugs thus administered pass through the liver, inactivating and exerting a negative influence on this organ.

Some drugs damage the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines.

If the drug is injected into the rectum, it passes the liver, and its bioavailability is equated with that when administered directly to a vein or artery.

The action of their rectal suppositories begins earlier, as they are absorbed into the bloodstream faster, this is due to the peculiarities of the blood supply to the end part of the digestive tube. There are a lot of arteries and veins. The intake of medicinal substances is carried out not only through the blood, but also the lymphatic system of this region.
