Yes, it's called a Dulcolax suppository and is frequently used in hospitals.
The active ingredient in Dulcolax®, bisacodyl USP, is released in the large intestine, where it stimulates the bowel muscles to contract and, thereby, push the bowel's contents along. The same ingredient also helps ease elimination by accumulating water to soften the bowel's contents. The effect is both to help soften the stool and make it pass through more quickly.
And yes, it's normal.

They used to have this joke about a suppository. What is stronger than Superman? Exslax-- since it can knock the shyte out of Superman. An enema is more effective and better but I guess no one wants to give it. Learn how to do it yourself. Models and dancers do it before an event to flatten their stomach.

A cup of espresso and a cigarette I quite have heard of a BigMac doing the pastime - I actual does no longer propose the ingesting of plastic for healing even with the actuality that. As you're on the alternative drugs web page i ought to propose in straightforward words a organic wholefood consisting of CHIA SEEDS aka satisfied seeds. they are jam packed with fibre, help with melancholy, short interest span, heart dis-ease, they are an anti inflammatory, lowers extreme blood rigidity, tremendous for diabetes, thins the blood - quite it should be more suitable reachable to record what they don't do. hint; If the nutrients won't be able to turn undesirable - it really is undesirable for you.

A laxative. Yes this is normal. It works faster if put up the rectum. Not to worry.

I am guessing that the capsule was supposed to loosen up your stool where you could defecate easier without having to strain. I would say it probably is normal if a nurse gave it to you.

haha. that is an enema. modern day. old day was a litre of soap/water/glycerine pumped into you via a tube. consider yourself lucky. and if your young, consider yourself warned cause if that thing you had didn't work you'd get what i said.
