The use of suppositories helps deliver medicine in ways other than oral. If one cannot consume medicines orally, they can take medicines using suppositories. There are three main types of suppositories - rectal, vaginal, and urethral. By consulting the Manufacturer of suppositories, you can get the correct type of suppository for your problem.
Use the Proper Method
It is important to administer the suppository in the right way. The correct way is to lie on one side and open the rectum. For adults, the suppository must enter one inch inside the anus. For children, it must enter half an inch.
Administer the Correct Dosage
Drugs are available in different strengths. Depending on the age of the person and the amount of damage caused by the disease, you will need the medicine of specific strengths. Ask the Manufacturer of suppositories if they will give you the drug in the dosage you desire. You can also get the suppository in the type you like.
Conditions Treatable with the Suppository
We use Paracetamol Suppositories to treat mild to severe pain and fever. For children, paracetamol helps relieve the pain and discomfort associated with the following:
● Cold and flu
● Earache
● Immunization
● Headache
● Teething
Paracetamol helps to block the pain messages from reaching the brain. It also works in the brain to control the fever symptom.
Recommended Dosage of the Medicine
You can give Paracetamol Suppositories 125 mg to children having moderate fever and pain. For children aged 1-5 years, the dosage is 1-2 suppositories every 4-6 hours. This dosage depends on the weight of the child. If the child is 1 year old and weighs 10 kg, he will need one suppository only. If he is 5 years old and weighs 20 kgs, you can give 2 suppositories (250 mg). You can give the medicine 4 times in 24 hours.
Wait for 15-30 minutes after inserting the suppository. Be sure to lie down for at least 5-10 minutes to ensure complete absorption of the medicine.
