Aspirin is usually administered orally in adults, but can be given rectally as suppositories in children. It is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal!

It can be used for use in patients unable to take or retain oral aspirin; however, absorption may be slow and incomplete. Do not use aspirin tablets rectally because they are likely to cause irritation and erosion of rectal mucosa

I would have to guess that it probably can be done since acetaminophen comes in rectal form. I'm not sure if the benefits would be any better than taking it orally...what can harm the stomach can potentially harm any part of the body.

I have a question, if it hurts the stomach that bad then your body does not like acetasylicasid, why are you still taking it? There are many different drugs out there to try, people are allergic to asprin and cant have it so they take something else.
Dont take something that harms you when you do not have to.
By the way it it hurts the stomach it will cause distress no matter where you take it.
BTW Asprin = acetasylicasid
Tylenol = acetominaphen
Advil = ibuprofen

I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem. Might be best to melt it in water and put it in an enema though.
