FAST-ACTING RECTAL FORMULA FOR EFFECTIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT AND TEMPERATURE REDUCTION WHEN ORAL DOSING IS IMPOSSIBLE. NAFDAC-REGISTERED. DISCREETLY DELIVERED ACROSS NIGERIA AND WORLDWIDE.
Rexall Paracetamol 500mg Suppositories provide rapid relief from pain and fever via rectal absorption. Paracetamol operates primarily by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system, effectively blocking pain signals and resetting the hypothalamic heat-regulating center to lower high body temperatures. This route bypasses the stomach entirely, offering an immediate, reliable therapeutic alternative when oral pathways are compromised.
Fever Reduction: Promptly lowering high body temperatures during systemic infections or post-vaccination reactions.
Mild to Moderate Pain: Relieving stubborn headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, and neuralgic pain.
Post-Operative Recovery: Managing localized discomfort following minor surgical procedures.
Nausea & Vomiting Care: Providing effective systemic treatment when severe vomiting makes keeping oral medications down impossible.
✅ Adults and Adolescents (aged 12 years and over, weighing above 40kg) who are unable to swallow tablets or capsules due to chronic nausea, throat structures, or illness.
✅ Post-Operative Patients or individuals with strict gastrointestinal restrictions following medical procedures.
❌ Not suitable for children under 12 years of age in this specific 500mg strength (lower pediatric strengths are available). Do not use if you suffer from severe liver impairment, active proctitis (inflammation of the rectum), or a history of recent rectal bleeding.
Adults & Adolescents (Over 12 years): 1 to 2 suppositories (500mg to 1000mg) inserted rectally as required.
Frequency: May be repeated every 4 to 6 hours, up to a strict maximum of 4 times within a 24-hour period.
💡 Ensure the bowels are empty before administration. Wash hands thoroughly, peel open the protective foil wrapper, and insert the suppository pointed end first gently into the rectum. Try to remain still for a few minutes to ensure complete melting and absorption.
Paracetamol / Acetaminophen (500mg): A clinically proven non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic agent built into a smooth, rapid-melting suppository base.
Rexall Paracetamol Suppositories are exceptionally safe and highly tolerated when used within standard dose metrics. Mild localized soreness or temporary irritation inside or around the rectum can occasionally occur. WARNING: Never exceed the recommended dose. Taking too much paracetamol can cause severe, life-threatening liver damage. Always check to ensure you are not using other paracetamol-containing products concurrently.
How quickly does a suppository start working compared to a standard tablet?
Because the suppository melts quickly at body temperature and is absorbed directly through the rich blood vessel networks of the rectum, it often enters the bloodstream and begins easing pain or lowering a fever faster than a standard oral pill.
What should I do if the suppository feels soft inside the foil packaging?
In hot climates, suppositories can soften slightly. Before peeling open the foil package, simply hold it under a stream of cold running tap water or place it inside a refrigerator for a few minutes until it firms up entirely.
Can I take these suppositories alongside other cold and flu remedies?
Many over-the-counter cold, cough, and sinus remedies contain hidden paracetamol. Always read product labels closely. Combining Rexall Suppositories with other paracetamol products can easily trigger an accidental, toxic overdose.
