A member asked:
Does having loose watery stool from laxatives effect bcp? happened 15 mins after taking it. some say yes some say no
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: The BCP is broken down by stomach acid and absorbed in the small intestine. If laxatives are causing an increased transport through the small & large intestine then the BCP is not optimally absorbed. Take the BCP and wait at least one hour before using laxatives, which are not recommended for daily use.
