Can laxatives reduce the effect of the contraceptive pill?
21-year-old woman
I take laxative (on tablets) 2x a day (morning and evening). I am followed by my doctor. I take my contraceptive pill at 21h in the evening.

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!
Unless you have diarrhea, the laxative will not affect the effectiveness of your contraceptive :).
I hope I've been of some help to you, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
