A member asked:
I took a fast relief dulcolax suppository 3 hrs ago and it hasn't worked. can i use another one tonight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If no results and you still have an urge to have a bm, insert a fleets enema. If still no results and especially if you develop abdominal cramping or distension, have a rectal examination to determine if you're impacted and need manual disimpaction.
