A member asked:
How long does it take for an empaped suppository to be absorbed and after how long should you see the temp start to drop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minutes,: medications given rectally can be absorbed fast, almost same as intramuscular injection, fever would come down if given the right dose shortly after, but that depends on the type infection/cause of fever, if no response otherwise, kindly call / see the doctor, wish you wellness
