To properly administer a hydrocortisone suppository, insert it about 1 to 2 inches into the rectum, ensuring it is past the anal sphincter for effective absorption. It can be helpful to lubricate the suppository and your finger with water or a water-based lubricant to ease insertion. After inserting, remain lying down for a few minutes to help the suppository dissolve and be absorbed. Always follow specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the product packaging.
