A vaginal suppository has to be inserted into the vagina. Vaginal suppositories are typically inserted one or two times a day depending on the condition and specific medication. These get absorbed into the body through the vaginal mucosa. Vaginal suppositories are a herbal mixture in a gelatin capsule that is inserted into the vagina with an applicator. The body absorbs the herbal mixture from the vaginal suppositories. Which works faster than medications you take by mouth because suppositories melt inside the body and absorb directly into the bloodstream. This herbal mixture is formulated to help treat and/or prevent vaginal infections. Remove any vaginal odor and increase wetness.
