Retention suppositories

I never had a constipation problem and only received retention suppositories (suppositories for nausea, headaches). Anybody else only get these types of suppositories?

@Click, yes I received medicine to treat cough and sore throat via suppository while visiting relatives in Montreal when I was in first grade...my first experience with suppositories. That was pretty memorable. I started buying a box on every visit since high school, though trips have been few. They're quite effective and of course I like them. And I've more used tylenol / acetaminophen in suppository form...but more for fun.

We get Novalgin Suppositories similar to Tylenol that we use widely on children in asia.

Yes, I only got suppositorys for pain, nausea or fever.

My wife and I were house sitting once and we found a box of retention suppositories with Tylenol. We had lots of fun.

Funny, any time I feel a little constipation... I get a meal at Taco Bell! Does it every time!

Here we also have a number of types of retention suppositories...though I can barely recall the last time I required needing their use...not that you'd need an excuse....guess I'm more enamoured of an Enema to resolve any issues that arise.

Retention suppositories are a great idea for those that are suffering from nausea. I got them as a kid when I got sick and was vomiting and could not keep anything down. I am wondering if there is an advantage over taking a pill by using a suppository. I have take naproxen sodium (Aleve) everyday for back pain and there is a risk of getting a stomach bleed when taking an NSAID over a long period of time.

I would be quite happy to do a suppository to lower my risk of ulcers. Maybe I need to check into it this.
