Nope. It's les francais. I had a heated conversation with a French pharmacist

Les suppositoires are extremely efficient, bypass the stomach, thus reducing
any risk of inflammation, reaction there etc. and enter the bloodstream much
more quickly. I was once offered one (in Belgium) for a sprained
ankle....... ;-)

The only time I was offered one in Germany was, when I broke a leg. I
was offered one containing a painkiller. The look on my face must have
said it all, as I was then offered a tablet instead.
