Suppositories

There are a number of different suppositories available. Suppositories are placed directly into the back passage and prompt the bowel to want to empty usually within 20-40 minutes. They can be used to help relieve occasional constipation and they may also form part of a regular bowel management plan to prevent faecal incontinence especially for those people with neurological conditions.
