Abstract
The rectal route has proven its worth in terms of achieving successful drug delivery both locally and systematically. The primary goal of this invention was to develop and evaluate Flax suppositories. To administer its herbal powder to internal sites, suppositories are placed directly into the rectum. A suppository comprises flax as a main active ingredient, administered through the rectal route, used as a laxative, and treatment of haemorrhoids and bacterial infections of the anus. For the formulation of the present invention, the suppository preferably comprises flax in an inert base, which may comprise any suitable inert pharmaceutical carrier. The base may optionally be any suitable inert base that is solid at room temperature. The flax may optionally comprise the liquid or gel form or a dry extract of the juice, or any other form of flax, all of which are collectively termed “flax extract”.
