Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Neither Oxycodone,a narcotic analgesic nor Ibuprofen,a NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) has any interaction with any vitamin supplements or omega3/6/9 fatty acids.
However the composition or active ingredients of herbal supplements like echinacea and St Johns Wart are unspecified and hence no comments or recommendation can be made precisely.
