Abstract

The rectal route of administration is particularly useful for infants and children who have diffi culty in swallowing oral medicine. This route is also used in cases of nausea and vomiting, or where upper intestinal disorders present may affect the absorption of a drug. There is no need for taste masking of drugs delivered rectally.
