Can Bisacodyl Suppository Be Taken For Constipation?

Hi I have a stuck bowel movement. I used a bisacodyl suppository about an hour ago but it hasn't made anything happen. Is it safe to try a second one? What about an enema I saw that at the drugstore safe to use now? What if it just isn't going to come out!
