Sodium salicylate and 5-methoxysalicylate both increased the rectal absorption of insulin in dogs when co-administered with insulin in various formulations. Microenema formulations containing 4% gelatin showed the highest insulin bioavailability of the formulations studied whereas microenemas (without gelatin) and suppository
