Brief Answer:
It is safe to take them together, however, like anything moderation is key

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back to HCM: The Oxycontin is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine, the only scenario that I see is if your hepatitis gets worse causing your liver to hurt more, this will make it vulnerable to toxicity from many medications nit just oxy, therefore I would make all your follow up appointments so that you know how you liver function is proceeding and also follow treatment efficacy.
