[e-drug] Single tablet for oral, vaginal and rectal use (cont'd)

E-drug: Single tablet for oral, vaginal and rectal use (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In New Zealand, we do not have a formulation of a medicinal
product that can be administered via all three routes. I'm unsure of
the reason/s why. Perhaps it is difficult to formulate such a product.
Or perhaps there are not many compounds that are therapeutically
active when administered by each of these routes.

Kind regards,
