Can Suppositories Be Taken While On Bactrim?
My chemo sessions were put off by a week because of an infection that was treated with bactrim. I am having constipation and took 60 ml of milk of magnesia. About 4 and 1/2 hours, it felt like i need to have a bowel movement , but the movement was brick hard. Is it safe to take a suppository to help with relief?
