My son just got home from the hospital and his sister brought him home. I couldn't get the chance to speak to the doctor. And the doctor has prescribed promethazine for him for light sedation. However, I know that promethazine can be used rectally as well as orally. How do I know if this specific bottle of promethazine is for oral administration or rectal administration. How can I tell?

Thank you Marvell. So the answer is basically the drug would have to be in liquid form to be able to take it orally. Otherwise (tablet, pillform) it would be administered rectally as a suppository? Thanks! I'm a new LPN and I'm still mastering my hand at pharmacology.
If it's a tablet it should also be given orally ... sorry I didn't clarify the tablet. The active ingredient from the tablet won't be absorbed if given rectally. Only suppository is given rectally.
