A member asked:
I took my bcp at 8am half hour later i had a bowel movement. is the pill still effective after a bm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a problem: The component medication in your BCP is absorbed in the upper small intestine. Your bowel movement expels debris that has spent the last 2 days in your intestines & includes about 2 feet of that debris at most.. Your pill material remains high up in your system far away (about 20 feet of tubing) from what you poop out, so this is not a problem.
