Laxatives can affect the absorption of antibiotics in the body by speeding up the movement of the medication through the digestive system. This can potentially reduce the effectiveness of the antibiotics as they may not have enough time to be fully absorbed and work properly. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking laxatives and antibiotics together to avoid any potential interactions.
