Drug interactions: Great question to ask your pharmacist, family doc or prescribing physician! Always inform doc of all your meds before accepting a prescription. Stool softeners shouldn't interfere w/amoxicillin, nor laxatives but best to check w/above first. I can't give more definitive answer w/o knowing exact medication. Use http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html to search for drug-drug interactions.
