A member asked:
Do you have multiple bowel movements within a few hours after using a suppository? or is it just once? and can you take a laxative at the same time that you take a suppository?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bowel: The amount and number of stools can vary depending on the amount of constipation. Taking a laxative along with the suppository should be fine.
