A suppository is a solid, bullet-shaped medication designed to be inserted into the rectum, vagina, or urethra, where it dissolves at body temperature to deliver drugs directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, making it ideal for patients with nausea or those needing fast absorption, and it's a staple in modern medicine for targeted treatments like pain relief or fever reduction.
