No - and it will probably kill you or make you seriously ill ! Suppositories usually contain medicine to cure a problem associated with the rectum and large intestine. It's designed to break apart, and concentrate the drug where it's needed after insertion. If you swallowed it - the drug would be absorbed into your bloodstream, and would either do nothing to ease the symptoms for which it was prescribed - or make you seriously ill (or worse !)

A suppository is meant to melt inside the rectum after only a half hour or so. After one to three hours, there should be nothing to remove. If there is, perhaps what you inserted was a pill meant to be swallowed, not a suppository to be inserted rectally. Read your medicine's instructions carefully. If you find out that you accidentally inserted a pill rectally, thinking it was a suppository, do not swallow it. Discard it and swallow an unused one or contact your pharmacist or physician for another one if you only had one.
