Taking colon cleanser while on pill

Ok, I'm not trying to sound gross here, lol! I've been taking colon cleansers (from the vitamin store) and now I'm also back on the pill. I take the cleansers for constipation and I only take them once in a while. My question is, can this have an effect on how my bc pills work? There is no St. John's Wort in the cleansers but I think there a few herbal ingrediants in it. They are called Super Cleanse, in case anyone has heard of them or takes them. Thanks!
