What Causes Blood In Stool While On Oxycodone And Clonazepam?

Found substantial amount of mixed bright-dark blood in stool in two consecutive movements. Wondering what to be concerned about?... My medications are oxcycodone and clonazepam. I also had colonic polyps removed two years ago with similar symptoms. Please let me know.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, oxycodone and clonazepam can not cause blood in stool.
Colon polyp can recur and cause blood in stool.
Since you already had history of colonic polyp removal, better to get done lower GI (gastrointestinal) scopy to see if there is any recurrence in polyps.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
