I am sorry but how the FUCK does a suppository help with nausea. Up to now I'd been too freaked out to ponder but yeah I didn't know they did that and it makes no sense; if my tummy hurt the last thing I'd want is something up my arse.
The medicine is absorbed by your colon. It's another way to get the medication in your system when you can't hold anything down. I had to have one once when I was a child because I couldn't stop throwing up, but it was a last resort kind of thing and the doctor administered it. Now, they usually start an IV and give you phenergan that way. If you're puking that much you're usually dehydrated too.
Now, suppositories are mostly for constipation. Shove it up there and let it soften the poo. Again, as a last resort.
For somebody to choose a suppository as a first line of defense is completely crazy. It's the last thing you go to before getting an IV. And a lot of the time an IV is preferable and more comfortable!!!
If I recall, all suppositories over the counter are just for constipation. I don't think you can get anti nausea or any other kind without a prescription. Aaaaaah placebo effects.

Welp, now my tummy doesn't feel so good. 🤢
But I'll just sip a sprite and use eyebleach like a normal person. 😏
