Wow.No, it would not absorb the same because there is very little active absorption in the rectum. Plus, most drugs are meant for stomach acid, not to mention the skipping the whole first pass effect. So – Not unless the companies had actually made those drugs in suppository form.
PS As far as I know Decadron is injectable and not in pill form.

It's not completely out of the realm of possibility.There used to be nystatin vaginal tabs that were occasionally prescribed orally. Dosage comes into play here.
The old rule between an oral dose and a rectal dose is that usually the rectal dose would be twice as much as the oral due to the way it is absorbed into the body.

Yes, but medicated suppositories are the best to use. Suppositories can be inserted 3 different ways: vaginal, rectal, and urethral.

NO! Suppositories are in a special caplet, that can be absorbed like this. Maybe those medications were made to be able to be taken like this.More Questions and Answers
