Good morning
do Dulcobis suppositories affect the effect of birth control pills? I've been struggling with constipation for a while now and I take Dulcobis suppositories every day and sometimes even two of them a day.
It is usually in the morning or in the afternoon and I take the contraceptive pill around 8:30 p.m

Dulcobis suppositories do not affect the effectiveness of birth control pills.
Even frequent use of these suppositories does not affect the effectiveness of contraception. Protection is maintained at all times.
Please note the information provided by the manufacturer of Dulcobis:
'The period of self-administration of Dulcobis should not exceed 5 days.'
Long-term use of suppositories with bisacodyl leads to the so-called "laziness of the intestines", water-electrolyte balance disorders (especially potassium loss) and mucosal irritation, so they should not be used chronically.
First of all, it is worth increasing the supply of water – drink at least 2 liters of fluids a day and enrich the diet with ingredients that facilitate bowel movements, such as products rich in fiber (wholemeal bread and groats, bran, vegetables, fruits, especially prunes), flax seeds or psyllium. It is also worth taking care of regular physical activity that supports the functioning of the intestines.
If this is not enough, it is worth implementing mild agents instead of Dulcobis that soften fecal masses, but do not affect the functioning of the intestines, e.g. macrogol, lactulose.
Such preparations can be purchased in pharmacies without a prescription.

If immediate action is not sufficient, consult a doctor.
And can the use of these suppositories for more than five days, and sometimes two a day, weaken the effect of birth control pills?
