Is there a list of the different types of suppositories and what they are used for?

I'm new to this, and I'm trying to learn more about what people use for different suppositories. I know that some are made to help with bowel movements, and some are used to help with hemorrhoids, but are there some that people use just for kinky fun? Is there a list somewhere or a place I could start reading up on them?

Loads of meds can be applied via the rectal route. Sometimes this is necessary because of issues swallowing or keeping food or liquid down long enough for the meds to work. Typically suppositories are also given for pain, fever and nausea, constipation and hemroids. Those are the common applications. If you have a stomach ulcer and need paid meds, they might prescribe suppositories because pain meds can make a stomach ulcer worse or even rupture. Anti nausea meds in our household is always a suppository, because you have no risk of throwing it up and the meds not working.

There are, on the one hand, laxative suppositories. They provoke a local reaction of the rectum and bowel. The most common are glycerin. There are also Bisacodyl and CO2 ones, I think.

On the other hand, there are suppositories for administering drugs. The suppository is made in a kind of grease or wax, the drugs are dissolved and, when the suppository melts inside the rectum, they cross the rectal walls into the bloodstream. I guess that most drugs could be made available in this way; certainly 40 years ago in France many were (in additional to oral forms), but this is no longer the case as suppositories are now less popular. Some drugs were available only in suppository form (eucalyptus extracts for respiratory issues / cold / throat ache). Nowadays the only ones I know of, apart from one brand of suppositories for throat ache, are those with paracetamol (acetaminophen), and also some suppositories against nausea (obviously because if one has nausea one would risk vomiting oral medications). I found paracetamol suppositories easier to use on baby than oral medications because our children would try to pull the small syringe used to give them the oral medication out of their mouth, and would spit out some of the drugs.

Rectal application also bypass the first pass effect. Rectally meds have a higher bioavailability and can be absorbed straight into the bloodstream. The meds usually take effect much quicker and absorb slower.
