To make laxatives work faster, ensure you're well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as most laxatives require adequate fluid to be effective. Physical activity, such as walking, can also stimulate bowel movements. Taking the laxative on an empty stomach may speed up its action. Warm beverages like tea or coffee can further promote digestion and bowel movement. Avoid constipating foods (e.g., cheese, red meat, processed foods) while using a laxative. Always follow dosage instructions and consult a doctor before combining laxatives or using them long-term, as improper use may lead to dependency or health issues.
