Suppository availability

I have noticed lately that jars of 100 seem to be nearly impossible to find at least at CVS or RiteAid. Anyone else see this?

I shop at Wal Mart and haven't noticed a difference, but thanks for the heads up!

I don't think its too much more expensive to get two of 50

In Italy Glycerin suppositories are usually in boxes da18

How big are those "supposte"? Here the usual boxing is 12. I have never seen a box with more than that. The jars are of about 10, and some time ago there were plastics tubes with 3.

I prefer the box, with wrapped ones.

In Italy are the cardboard boxes with 3 of 6 suppositories wrapped in aluminum

I still see jars of 100 in cvs and walmart I havn't looked in riteaid lately but now I'm going to look. I do notice that walmart sells a lot of suppositories I most always look to see how many jars are on the shelf they lots of times need restocking.

They've never been available OTC in 100s in the UK (so far as I know) - though they are in countries like Belgium and Holland. In India even the pediatric ones can be bought in 100s.

I was in WalMart yesterday and they have jars of 100 here in Houston.

I just bought a jar of 100 at rite aid yesterday they had about ten on the shelf

Walmart has 100ct Fleet Glycerin, but dropped the 8ct Dulcolax and now only has 4. They also stock a decent enema bag.

No generic suppositories, though.

Walmart is sometimes slow to restock, either that or they really do sell a lot of some things.

Also try Dollar General. They have Fleet 100 count jars at a reasonable price.

In Spain glycerin suppositories are sold in boxes of 12 suppositories wrapped in Al. Each suppo contains 3.6 gm. of glycerin.

My personal preference is magic bullet bisacodyl, which is water based and melts quickly. So intense.

Yea I noticed.. be lucky to find a jar of 50. I am supposed to be Purging ( doctor ordered) when my stomache gets bad.. SO I end up settling for glycerin enemas. Sure they work FAST but the suppository burns LESS.

GG, you tried 25-50% glycerin in water in a bulb? works well and doesn't burn as much as the straight glycerin ones.

Liquid glycerin is more effective and quicker. But I prefer the procedure with the suppository and the mild effect that it produces.

For a while, I had not seen them at Walmart but I saw them again and bought a jar. I saw the Dulcolax with the new applicator but now I have not seen them at Walmart last time that I was there.

I have not bought suppositories for a long time. They don't work on me. I can hold them forever and they never seem to melt. I expell them and they come out looking the same as they went in. It would be fun to try the dulcolax applicator or just have a session of many suppository insertions but I've never seen them be effective. I went of topic here but I will certainly look for a big jar. Last time I did get them it was a jar of a hundred.

James, similar here. Try throwing in a bisacodyl/Dulcolax. Still doesn't work perfectly in me (or as well as an enema) but does work better than glycerin (start with one, multiples can kick your ass and keep on kicking it for a couple hours).

Never used an applicator, usually I can get them similarly deep with my finger.

Liquid glycerin in concentrations of 25-100% v/v with water also is much more effective. Start somewhere between 10 and 15 mL of glycerin.

I purchased my latest jar of 100 adult size, glycerin (Fleet) suppositories at Wal-Mart. I'm surprised that they don't offer their own store brand (equate) suppositories....maybe they do and were out when I was there.
