Can Prednisone and Benadryl be taken together?

Answer 1

Not really! Please avoid 2 antihistamines together, especially when not under medical supervision.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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