How long does it typically take for a suppository to take effect?

10 minutes
20 minutes
30 minutes
40 minutes

The correct answer is: 10 minutes

Suppositories take effect relatively quickly compared to oral medications because they are inserted directly into the rectum, which has a rich blood supply and allows for quicker absorption of the medication. Option B, C, and D may seem like reasonable choices, but they are not as accurate because suppositories usually take effect within 10-15 minutes, and it may vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the specific medication being used. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate choice.
