Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Swimming: As we discussed in the other version of the question that you answered vaginal suppositories are typically absorbed quickly. As long as you were not swimming immediately after insertion then the medication would be absorbed already.
