Can suppositories be used to treat asthma If so what is the name of the suppositories?
so far as i know there are no suppositories being used to threat asthma as suppositories are intended to be used rectally and give local effect on rectum. you can't swallow suppositories and cannot tolerate with the taste and even if you hold the suppositories in your hand it will melt,how you want to swallow it? and asthma are inflammatory of the airways.the most effective treatment available nowadays are inhaler as the patient will inhale the powder that will go straightly to the site of inflammation.
Amendment/improvement to this answer: Yes. There is a medicine called 'aminophylline' which acts as a bronchodilator (dilates the bronchii (breathing tubes leading down to the lungs). Aminophylline suppositories are prescribed for bronchial asthma. The bronchii become constricted during asthmatic attacks. The advantage of giving a medicine in suppository form to someone who is having breathing difficulties, is that they may have difficulty swallowing when they are very breathless and so may cause them unnecessary additional anxiety.
It is completely untrue that suppositories are only used to treat local disease in the rectum. Many medicines can be absorbed through the rectal tissue. Examples are painkillers, anti-inflammatory and anaesthetics. Some countries have a preference for rectally administered medicine, not least because it can be more reliable that oral (by mouth) administration.
