Which side do you lay on for inserting suppository?
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.
