For diarrhea, a commonly used suppository is loperamide (Imodium). However, it's important to note that loperamide is typically taken orally rather than as a suppository. If diarrhea is persistent or severe, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options, as suppositories are not the standard approach for managing diarrhea.
