Suppositories offer several advantages, including bypassing the gastrointestinal tract, which can be beneficial for patients with nausea or difficulty swallowing. They also provide localized treatment for conditions affecting the rectum or vagina. However, disadvantages include potential discomfort during insertion, variable absorption rates, and a limited range of medications that can be effectively delivered this way. Additionally, some patients may find the use of suppositories inconvenient or socially awkward.
