You can give medications thru a colostomy, but if they still have a patent anus and rectal mucosa it is more appropriate to give a medication like tylenol via that route as the medication is absorbed by the rectal mucosa to take effect systemically. Medications for bowel regimen like an enema should be given thru the colostomy, as this the direct route of the stool in a patient with a stool diverting colostomy
