ABSTRACT:
The internal organs are protected by the bodily cavities, which also act as a cushion against movement and a means of preventing the surrounding organs from changing size and shape without interfering with their ability to function. Suppositories are defined as such dosage forms that are designed as they are intended to be administered via body cavities such as rectal, vaginal, and urethral. Although advanced forms of suppositories are also given via nasal and ear route, they are made to produce better bioavailability of drugs at the targeted sites as compared to other conventional routes and forms. This review study primarily focuses on the area and features of suppositories that are made with herbal medication ingredients. This study describes the entire process of creating and evaluating herbal suppositories, and its primary focus is on the study of some novel diseases or conditions that are treated with these suppositories but are even harder to treat, cause toxicity, or demand high dosages to have the same therapeutic effects as other dosage forms. These herbal suppositories also produce pleasing and adorable results.
