(2) By inserting a medication into a body cavity (e.g., placing a suppository in rectum or vagina, inserting medicated packing into vagina). (3) By instilling fluid into a body part or cavity (e.g., ear drops, nose drops, bladder or rectal instillation fluid is retained). (4) By irrigating a body cavity (e.g., flushing eye, ear, vagina, bladder, or rectum with medicated fluid fluid is not retained). (5) By spraying a medication into a body cavity (e.g., instillation into nose and throat).
