Intra-anal plugs of fever-reducing medications can also cause some side effects on the body. The main types of fever-reducing medications that can be inserted intra-anally are acetaminophen suppositories, ibuprofen suppositories, and indomethacin suppositories, which can be avoided by avoiding rectal administration of the medication, but can still cause other side effects on the body.
The fever reducing drugs inserted in the anus mainly include acetaminophen suppositories, ibuprofen suppositories, indomethacin suppositories, etc. They all belong to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. By avoiding the oral administration of the drugs, the irritating effect of these drugs on the gastric mucosa can be reduced, and the nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, and other symptoms occurring in the patients after taking the drugs can be alleviated.
After rectal administration, the drug still needs to be absorbed by the body to produce antipyretic effect, and drug allergy may occur after the drug is absorbed by the body, resulting in a generalized rash; in addition, because the drug needs to be metabolized by the liver and kidneys and other organs, therefore it may also lead to elevated aminotransferases and renal function abnormalities in patients.
If you need to use acetaminophen suppositories, ibuprofen suppositories, indomethacin suppositories and other rectal administration of antipyretic drugs, please under the guidance of a physician to use medication.
