Depends on the drug, but approximately 35-60 minutes to give it a good shot. The glycerin melts very quickly, and then the mucosa of the anus has to absorb the drug. Fr33kman, MD I have found that by making sure the glycerin suppository is pushed high into the rectum, I get relief in 5 to 10 minutes; the longer I hold, it seems like, the better it works. I like the glycerin ones because once you go, theres NO more going. Ducolux suppositories are different; they make your bowels move in 15min to an hour..but usually I get after results usually at a very bad time..
The time for a suppository to melt can vary based on factors like room temperature, body temperature, and the specific ingredients of the suppository. On average, it can take around 15-30 minutes for a suppository to fully melt and be absorbed into the body.
When inserting a suppository, it is generally recommended to lie on your side, specifically the left side, as this position allows for easier insertion and helps the suppository to dissolve more effectively. This position aligns the rectum with the angle of the colon, reducing the likelihood of the suppository being expelled. After insertion, it’s advisable to remain in that position for a few minutes to ensure the suppository stays in place and begins to dissolve.
Gravol suppositories typically dissolve within 30-60 minutes after insertion. Factors such as body temperature and individual differences may affect the rate of dissolution, but in general, the medication should start taking effect within this time frame.
Cavemen do not dissolve.

Gynotran is a vaginal suppository that usually starts melting shortly after insertion. It can vary from person to person, but typically it begins to dissolve within 15-30 minutes after insertion.

Yes, suppositories are designed to melt and dissolve completely when inserted into the body. Once inserted, the suppository's active ingredients are released and absorbed into the bloodstream to produce their intended effect.
The best time to insert a suppository is typically after a bowel movement to ensure the rectum is empty, which can enhance absorption. It's also advisable to do it before bedtime, as lying down can help the suppository dissolve and absorb more effectively. Always follow the specific instructions provided with the medication for optimal results.
