Overview of Suppositories and Pessaries by nirajharak09 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Suppositories are solid dosage forms intended for insertion into body orifices where they melt and exert localized or systemic effects. Rectal suppositories are used for constipation or hemorrhoids, while vaginal suppositories (pessaries) are used locally. Suppository bases include fatty bases like cocoa butter, water-soluble bases like glycerogelatin, and synthetic hard fats. Each base has advantages and disadvantages regarding properties like melting point, irritation potential, and stability.
