Drug & supplement interaction

Stavesacre + Oxycodone

Oxycodone brand names: OxyContin, Roxicodone, OxyIR, Percolone, Oxecta, and others.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Stavesacre and Oxycodone in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Oxycodone states a food rule worth keeping to, and the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Stavesacre and Oxycodone

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Oxycodone and Stavesacre in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Stavesacre at all — not against Oxycodone, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Stavesacre and Oxycodone May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

How to take them

Some Oxycodone Products Have a Food Rule — Stavesacre Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Oxycodone says to take it with food. If you take Stavesacre on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Oxycodone with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Oxycodone products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

( 2.2 , 5.1 , 5.2 , 5.3 ) XTAMPZA ER is administered, twice daily, every 12 hours, and must be taken with food .

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Oxycodone — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Oxycodone

This page covers Stavesacre only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Oxycodone page lists 145 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (major) and Kava (major).

By severity: 8 major · 114 moderate · 23 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Oxycodone page

“Oxycodone is a potent opioid painkiller, and anything that deepens its sedation can slow breathing itself, which is why this list deserves genuine respect. Of the 145 supplement and herbal ingredients on record, eight rate major, and the biggest cluster by far, 78 ingredients, adds extra drowsiness on top of the opioid's own.”

About Stavesacre

What is Stavesacre?

  • Head lice and body lice
  • Skin parasites and scabies
  • Toothache (traditional)
  • Homeopathic remedy for various complaints

Stavesacre is a flowering plant whose seeds were historically used to kill lice and other parasites because they contain toxic alkaloids. It is highly poisonous if swallowed, modern safety data are very limited, and far safer lice treatments now exist, so it is not recommended for internal use.

Delphinium staphisagria · Ranunculaceae · Seeds · Topical preparations, lotions, homeopathic remedies, historically powdered seeds

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Stavesacre is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Stavesacre record says about it on its own.

Stavesacre: dosing

There is no established safe or standardized dose for stavesacre, and it is not recommended for internal use because of its toxicity. Because of the poisoning risk, it should not be taken by mouth in any amount.If you come across a topical or homeopathic product containing stavesacre, follow the product label carefully and use it only as directed.

About Oxycodone

What Is Oxycodone Used For?

Brand names: OxyContin, Roxicodone, OxyIR, Percolone, Oxecta, OxyNeo

Oxycodone is prescribed for pain severe enough to need daily, long-term opioid treatment — pain that hasn't responded well to non-opioid medicines or shorter-acting options. The extended-release form is designed for continuous pain control, not for occasional or as-needed use.

It is approved for adults and, in certain cases, for opioid-tolerant children 11 years and older who are already on opioid therapy. Because of the serious risks involved, it is reserved for situations where other approaches have genuinely fallen short.

Taking Stavesacre and Oxycodone Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Stavesacre with Oxycodone?
We do not list a known interaction between Stavesacre and Oxycodone. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Stavesacre and Oxycodone have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 2 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Should I take Stavesacre and Oxycodone at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Oxycodone says to take it with food. If you take Stavesacre on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Oxycodone with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Oxycodone products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Does Oxycodone interact with any supplements?
Yes. Oxycodone has documented interactions with 145 supplements in our database — Stavesacre is not one of them. The Oxycodone interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
