Is prednisolone safe if taking citalopram?
I have been taking citalopram for a year now and last week I was prescribed prednisolone for a chest infection (I'm an asthmatic) and I haven't had any side effects whatoever. Drug interations.com says there are no interations between the two meds but to be on the safe side it's always best to check with your GP. http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/citalopram-with-prednisolone-1933-0-679-0.html

How do you relieve your asthma when it is really bad and an inhaler and steroids for it do not work?
When you say inhaler and steroids do not work, I assume you are talking about steroids like Advair. If that is the case oral steroids are the answer, at least that is what I use. Prednisone or prednisolone. Some professionals believe prednisolone is more effective. It is 20% stronger. Example: 8mg prednisolone equals 10mg prednisone. In effect your liver converts prednisone into prednisolone, or so it was explained to me. However, you don't want to use either on a regular basis if you can help it. The long term side effects are not so nice.
