Which form of medication is NOT intended for oral consumption?

The correct choice is the suppository, as this form of medication is specifically designed for administration via the rectum (or, in some cases, the vagina). Suppositories are formulated to dissolve and release their active ingredients within the body’s rectal or vaginal mucosa, thereby resulting in systemic effects or local targeted treatment.

In contrast, tablets, capsules, and syrups are all intended for oral consumption. Tablets are solid forms made of compressed powder containing the active drug and other excipients; capsules consist of a gelatin casing that contains powdered or liquid medication; and syrups are liquid preparations that contain a concentrate of drug dissolved in a sweetened solution. These oral forms are designed to be ingested and absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.
