I was actually looking for the answer to this question and since no one has answered it I will tell you what I found. My sister gave my niece her prescribed cough medicine and about an hour later, she started itching. My niece has major Allergies so my sister gave her a benadryl as well. She then wondered if that was an okay thing to do. She called the pharmacist and they said she would be fine, just maybe a little more sleepy than normal.

Yes you can, as they are often used to treat different conditions. Pulmicort is an inhaler used to treat Asthma by reducing inflammation in the airway. Prednisone can be used to treat asthma, but is typically an oral tablet that reduces inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid Arthritis. Both medications are corticosteroids and therefore using them together can increase your risk of side effects, so you will want to monitor the potential adverse effects.

Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together. Pulmicort is an inhaled corticosteroid while benadryl acts on histamine (and other receptors).

Can antihistamines be taken at the same time as prednisone?Yes you can take Benadryl and Prednisone together. If you're having an allergic reaction, you can add Pepcid AC with the Benadryl to help control itching. Pepcid AC affects the histamines that Benadryl does not. The Prednisone will basically help treat the allergic reaction from the inside but doesn't help itching.

Anaphylactic reactions to prednisone and Benadryl aren't common, but both are possible. In the case that true anaphylaxis is occurring, epinephrine is given followed by oxygen. This is usually followed by the administration of steroids and antihistamines. If a person is allergic to both prednisone and Benadryl, supportive measures and alternative medications can be used.
