Abstract

Suppositories are unique dosage forms and provide pharmacists with an opportunity for a detailed discussion when counseling a patient. In addition to explaining an appropriate method of administration, there are several other factors that should be explained to the patient to enhance compliance, which includes various physiological factors; physicochemical properties; and other characteristics of the active drug and suppository base to enhance convenience, understanding, and compliance. Applicable background information is provided to enable a knowledgeable consultation by the pharmacist.
