How Can Constipation Due To Impacted Stool Be Treated?

I would like a list of meds. that cause constipation. I was so constipated yesterday. I tried sepositories, enema but the constipation was so bad I couldn t get the enema in. I finally was able to work it out with whatever amount of the enema got in.
