Can you orally ingest a suppository?

Since that is the wrong end of your digestive system, you will not get the results you were expecting. Many medicines are made as suppositories and some of those are intended to have local effect. Some depend on proper use to deliver the active ingredient at a predictable rate and some active ingredients will be destroyed by digestion. There is really no way to predict the outcome other than to say you should follow the instructions for best results. Depends on what its used to treat. You can take a vaginal suppository that treats yeast infections on suck on it to treat yeast infection in the mouth and throat which was used in HIV treatment and worked on all patients. The problem with using it for other uses is your stomach acid will break it down. And it won't be absorbed in the colon.


What is a local effect suppository?

A local effect suppository is a medication designed to be inserted into the body, typically rectally or vaginally, to deliver localized treatment to a specific area. Unlike systemic medications, which affect the entire body, local effect suppositories target localized conditions such as hemorrhoids, inflammation, or infections, providing relief directly at the site of action. They often contain active ingredients that can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, or treat infections with minimal systemic absorption.


Is there a way to treat my rectal cancer, without hurting my self with shots, or potentially killing my self?

There are many new options for people with rectal cancer. The clinics set up for chemotherapy and radiation will give you many options to discuss with your spouse or family, and make an educated decision. My hope would be for you to speak to other patients and get real advice, unlike what you will find in the blog sites.
