Suppositories are effective and enable people who cannot keep their medicine down to take their daily dose. The suppository is an oval-shaped container for the medicine that gets delivered through the anus of the patient. Suppositories release the medication inside the rectum and within a few minutes, the drug begins to work. The patient will feel the effect of the medicine within 5-15 minutes of taking the suppository. A Glycerin suppository provides relief for those suffering from moderate forms of constipation.
Do Not Wait
It is important to take the Glycerin suppository as soon as one begins to feel constipated. This is because if the feeling gets worse, the drug may no longer work. The medicine works by emptying the back passage of the patient. This stimulates bowel movement helping the patient get relief from constipation. Children can also have suppositories. Small babies who have trouble passing motion can have one suppository. But, suppose there is no bowel movement, do not use one more suppository. It is better to consult your doctor.
Suppository for Children
We can use Diclofenac suppositories to relieve pain, joint swelling, and stiffness caused by arthritis. The medicine does not cure arthritis but only helps in relieving the pain and swelling. This kind of medication is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). You can give Diclofenac suppositories for children younger than 12 years by making an estimating according to the ratio of 1-3 mg/kg weight of the child. But make sure to divide the dose into two or three parts and use them one by one.
Relief from the Pain
Diclofenac will help reduce the pain the baby feels. Consult your doctor on the number of times you must give the baby the medicine. It might be three times a day but sometimes it is enough to give it two doses. And, never give a double dose.
