Hi i have used a suppository about 20minutes ago as i am constipated nothing has happened yet what should i do ?

...: suppositories or any other stimulants/laxatives/stool softners are not always successful. Drink lots of water and increase your fiber as well if you stay constipated. Repeat suppository or try alternative method in next 24 hours if not successful. Stay well hydrated.
