I took an oral liquid stimulant laxative 15 hours ago. but it didnt work. can i now use a suppository or do i have to wait. it was a sodium picosulfate based laxative so i dont know if it has interactions with a biacodyl suppository?

You may take the suppository. For constipation - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
