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.

How does a stool softner work?

A stool softener works by increasing the water content in the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. It typically contains ingredients like docusate sodium or docusate calcium, which act by reducing the surface tension of the stool, allowing more moisture to penetrate. This process helps alleviate constipation and reduces straining during bowel movements. Stool softeners are generally safe for short-term use but should be used as directed.
