How to insert Para Rizol suppositories

It is easy and painless. He/she who inserts the suppositories washes his/her hands with soap and water (or use hand sanitizer) and dries them off. The recipient lies down on his/her side with the top leg slightly bent toward his/her stomach and with the bottom leg straight. Moisten the tip of the suppository with some K-Y Jelly, this makes insertion so much easier. If you don’t have lubricating jelly, apply a small amount of water to the recipient’s rectal area. Relax the buttocks to make it easier to insert the suppository (e.g. tell a story during the process). Insert the suppository into the rectum, narrow end first. Gently but firmly, push the suppository past the sphincter. The sphincter is the muscular opening of the rectum. For adults, push it in one inch. For children, depending on their size, push it in a half inch to one inch. And for infants, push it in about a half inch. The recipient then lies with his/her legs closed for a few minutes. If you are giving the suppository to a child, you may need to gently hold their buttocks closed during this time. Wash your hands right away with soap and warm water.

If the person who is inserting the suppositories wishes to wear single-use disposable gloves, note that the allergen content of disposable rubber gloves varies widely and is higher in powdered gloves than in powder-free gloves and higher in examination gloves than in surgical gloves. IgE-mediated sensitisation to rubber proteins may affect the wearer of the glove, not the recipient of the suppository.
