.In normal digestive systems it is said 2 hour after a meal is optimal timing for B. M.'s. to occur in toned fully functional bodies. However some people have different circadian rhythms and it takes more than 2 hours for one's body to hint at it being elimination time. Some people go only once daily and are perfectly healthy- it is truly an individual idiosyncratic rhythm
That said not going in more than a day is not a good sign, no matter how long your body has done that.
As for medication taking and eating - it makes no difference whatsoever: the body must first digest the "pill" or liquid or process an injection If you figure it takes 20 minutes for a tablet to hit your stomach then gastric juices to break it down and then the medication is theoretically usable a bowel movement will not have any effect on the efficacy of the substance...and you can feel free to go!!
