Thanks! Though I am a little suprised and sad to see that the list isn't actually longer... I had totally been expecting for someone to say that most drugs had a suppository formulation..

We can compound suppositories and mold them into that perfect shape for insertion.

 

[bananaface]

I am told that suppositories are extremely popular in France.

OMG I will think of pharmacists as near gods if this is true! Will they still work for any drug? What about absorbtion and metabolism?

 

[bananaface]

I'm not compounding you any chemo suppositories.

*awaits demotion*

 

[Megalofyia]

I dont want to work with cancer patients.. can you compound any other drug and have it work and be absorbed and have biotransformation work out and all?

 

[jboogie]

Obviously, there might be some toxicity issues, as it avoids first pass metabolism. But for the most part, the answer is yes. A pharmacist (hopefully one that has a good amount of experience compounding) will be able to make up some suppositories. Keep in mind that absorption can be erratic due to interference with fecal matter, etc. (Jeez, I sound like Dr. B)
