What is likely to happen if the applicator is not inserted to the full length?

When the applicator is not inserted to the full length, it is likely that the medication will not reach the intended site for proper absorption and effectiveness. Many medications, such as those administered rectally or vaginally, are designed to work at specific anatomical locations. Failing to insert the applicator fully may result in the medication not being delivered where it can have the desired therapeutic effect, thus leading to inadequate treatment of the condition being addressed.

While other options may present potential concerns, such as discomfort from an improper application or the risk of the applicator breaking if forced, the primary issue at stake is the effectiveness of the medication. If the medication does not reach its target area, the expected therapeutic results are unlikely, which is why reaching the full insertion depth is crucial for proper medication delivery.
