Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of constipation following intake of oxycodone I am suggesting yes it is one of the side effects of oxycodone it causes decrease in bowel motion
In addition to intake of stool softener and laxatives please take dietary fiber after meals
Meanwhile please see your physician for re-evaluation of your drug
I hope this helps Regards
