Today's suppositories are typically packaged individually for digital administration into the anal canal of a patient. A suppository applicator described herein, which works with individually packaged suppositories, can alternatively be shipped in a prepackaged operational arrangement with a suppository to enable the patient to administer the suppository through use of the applicator in a single operation after opening a hygienic wrapper containing the applicator-suppository combination. A method for manufacturing a suppository includes manufacturing the suppository in the presence of and in contact with an element configured to be used to insert the suppository into a body cavity. The method may include using the element to define a shape of the suppository during the manufacturing. The resulting applicator-suppository combination is more hygienic and easier to handle than the separate applicator and suppository and provides more efficiency from time of opening the packaging to time of commencing administration of the suppository

Methods for prophylaxis, treatment, and reduction of infection, re-infection, and transmission rates of Coronaviruses and more particularly Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) resulting from a SARS-CoV-2 viral infection with the use of a pharmaceutical preparation comprising one or more coated or uncoated digestive enzymes, such as pancreatic enzymes and porcine pancreatic enzymes are described herein.

A method for treating the gastrointestinal or a urogenital system of a subject with prebiotic nutrients and probiotic bacteria is provided. Multi-chamber products are described which include at least two chambers wherein probiotic bacteria or human microbiome transplants are contained in one or more inner chambers and wherein prebiotic nutrients are contained in an outer chamber, the outer chamber completely enclosing the inner chamber(s). One or both chambers may contain a pharmaceutically acceptable material that is solid outside the human body when in a dry environment, but that melts at internal body temperature. The products may be administered by oral, rectal, vaginal, or urethral routes.

Disclosed are suppositories and methods of use thereof for lubricating an internal surface of a body cavity. A suppository may be composed of a shell defining an internal volume and a lubricant at least partially occupying the internal volume. The shell may be prone to degrade in that a rate of degradation thereof may increase when the suppository is in a certain condition, such as being exposed to an external environment or being positioned inside the body cavity. Once sufficient degradation of the shell has occurred while the suppository is inside the body cavity, the lubricant may be released and applied onto an internal surface of the body cavity. Medical procedures or pleasurable activities related to the body cavity may then be performed which rely upon or are aided in part by the lubrication of the body cavity's internal surface.
