title: Radiopaque suppositories.
abstract: The authors describe the radiographic appearance of several commonly used rectal suppositories. Such drugs are sufficiently opaque to be seen on abdominal radiographs and may simulate excreted urographic contrast medium or stones. Errors in interpretation can be avoided by asking the patient about rectal medication or by taking lateral or delayed films.
