Can you tell me for how many days can i take suppositories?

Dr. Charles Turck answered

Specializes in Pharmacology

The length of time a person may take suppositories depends on many things, including the type of medication that is in the suppository and the instructions given by a person’s doctor. Please ask the question again providing more detail, including which medication is in the suppositories.
