E-DRUG: rectal formulation of chloralhydrate

E-drug: rectal formulation of chloralhydrate
-------------------------------------------

Dear all,

Does anybody have any information regarding the formulation of a
chloralhydrate rectal preparation, e.g. supps or enema. It is
mentioned in The Martindale that rectal preparations do exist, but I
cannot find anything further. This query was received from a doctor
at a local hospital who wants to use a rectal preparation in children.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
