The formulation of sustained-release rectal suppositories involves selecting appropriate excipients that facilitate prolonged drug release while ensuring stability and bioavailability. Commonly used bases include hydrophilic polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol) or lipid-based carriers (e.g., cocoa butter) that can control the release rate. Active pharmaceutical ingredients are usually combined with these bases, and additives like stabilizers or surfactants may be included to enhance solubility and absorption. The final formulation is then shaped into suppository molds and evaluated for consistency, release profile, and efficacy.
