Can you take a stool softner with oxycodone?

Yes. Stay away from stimulant based laxatives though as they can worsen the problem. Drink plenty of water and try eating more fiber while on pain meds. Dr. Dan You can, and it is very recommended as long as opioid drugs cause constipation and slower the intestinal motility. Stimulant laxatives (senné) are also recommended to prevent the constipation. Normally, you should always use a stool softener with a stimulant laxative when you take an opioid (e.g. oxycodone) for a long time.
