Medication: The color of your stool has nothing to do with the medication that you took.

I disagree.: Stool is normally varying shades of yellow-brown to dark brown due to the present of bile secreted by the gallbladder. Whitish gray stool can be a sign of hepatitis (liver inflammation) or a blockage of the bile or hepatic ducts. BTW 35 mg of oxy may include 2100 mg of acetaminophen, a very high dose of both. This also concerns me. Seek medical care.

Not really: One white pill can't possibly do this to your stool, but white stools in general can signify something else completely, especially if it's floating in the toilet vs. sinking. If this is not a one time thing, then you need to speak to your PCP and get checked out. Malabsorption syndromes can appear this way, and you want to make sure you are AOK healthwise. Speak to your doctor.
