Doc prescribed hc suppositories for 2 weeks. completed the 2 week course almost 2 weeks ago. would i be able to take them for another week if need be?

Probably: I see you are on a regiment for treatment of Ulcerative Colitis. I would contact the doctor who prescribed the medication originally. They have examined your body and know your case. There can be side effects from taking HC suppositories long term. Make sure your symptoms are not related to an UC flare.
