The delivery end releasably holds a pill to be administered into the body cavity. A slide wire is disposed within the conduit for slidable movement therein. The slide wire has a ramming end adjacent the delivery end. The slide wire also has a handle end extending beyond the grasping end of the flexible conduit. The pill is loaded into the delivery end of the conduit when the ramming end is moved away from the delivery end. The pill is unloaded into the body cavity by moving the slide wire until the ramming end engages the pill and forces the pill out of the conduit.
