It is permissible to use beneficial suppositories for medicine and to treat emaciation if you are certain they cause no harm. You must verify this by asking doctors. If harm is found, then selling them is not permissible, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There should be no harm nor reciprocating harm," and due to the jurisprudential rule: "The basic principle regarding anything harmful is prohibition."
