When taking antibotic pill by mouth how long it has to at least stay in your system before you can go poop? please give full details, thank you.

Not important: Oral antibiotics are absorbed in the small intestine. The timing of bowel movements after taking any oral medications is not important and will not affect the efficacy of the medication.
