Do laxatives affect the birth control pill?

Not that I'm aware of, but if you need to take a daily laxative, you should talk to your doctor. You may need a better diet or something else is going on. That's not usually normal to take a laxative every day.

It is very normal to take daily laxatives such as those listed if your doctor tells you that you have to due to IBS (Irritated Bowel Syndrome) They are not laxatives like exlax or anything like that, they are just to soften stools so it doesn't perforate the colon which could lead to diverticulitis.
