Can you take Prednisone and hydrocodone together?

This would be OK. This combination could be used to treat severe allergic reactions such as poison ivy or drug allergy. Remember that the prednisone is very harsh on your stomach. Have food on your stomach when you take each dose! The hydroxyzine will make you drowsy and lightheaded.

Can you take phenergan prednisone and advil at the same time?

Benadryl is taken to suppress allergies, however Prednisone suppresses the immune system, and therefore your allergies as well. If you are on Prednisone, taking Benadryl is pointless because Prednisone is an infinitely stronger anti-allergen.

Should you drink alcohol with Prednisone?

Yes, it is physically possible to consume alcohol while taking prednisone. But the question you should have asked is "Should alcohol be consumed while taking prednisone?". But you didn't ask that question, so I won't answer it.

What will happen if you take Strattera and Prednisone together?

I don't know what will happen if you take the two together. however i do know by experience that prednisone, solumedrol, or any other steroid significantly affects bi- polar disorder. Steroids can make your moods fluctuate very quickly and can sometimes lead to hospitilization. If you are taking steroids and are bi polar be aware that the steroids will play havoc with your emotions.

What can you use instead of prednisone to shrink nasal polyps?

I have been able to keep my SEVERE polyps under control with two doses of 80 milligram Oxycontin per day. I will be having my SECOND surgury very soon. However, no " Doctor " will ever listen to why this works, or prescribe this Med. for any patient. You will be assumed to be an Abuser. This powerful anti inflammitory ( and headache moderator) works. I am 52 years old, former Racehorse Trainer, and have NEVER!!! abused ANY medication!!! Hope this helps someone. It took me 5 years to find out by accident. Thank God....I get a little sleep, without waking up gasping for breath everytime my mouth closes in sleep.

Can Prednisone help withdrawal opiates?

If you have decreased cortisol from long term opiode use, your adrenal gland has been affected and prednisone will help. You definitely need to do this under a Dr.s care since the combination of withdrawal symptoms and prednisone could cause a seizure if your adrenal gland is already functioning normally. Most Dr.s seem to just want you to suffer through it so you will learn your lesson,so it may not be an option. The only way to avoid severe withdrawal is a gradual tapering down. Most people cannot do this on their own. You need to get smaller and smaller prescriptions to be successful. Even then it is hard to avoid when you feel like crap and the pills are available. Go through it enough times and you will learn. Hopefully. Good luck.

Can you give a dog Prednisone that was prescribed for people?

* == ==

* Absolutely not! Prednisone for humans has to be monitored closely and the side effects with some people can be unpleasant. Take your dog to the vet! It's cheaper in the long wrong. NEVER use human medications on any of your pets. * From another source: Actually whether its 5 mg or 20 mg of prednisone, prednisone is prednisone. In some cases depending on where you are (what country) if your pet was prescribed prednisone there wouldn't be any "special beef flavored" variety, they'd be given the exact same tablet you would be taking if you had gotten a prescription for yourself the same day. Please see a vet, however. Prednisone does more harm than good if not given correctly, and sometimes additional tests are needed to check general health, etc before starting a prednisone regimen. But as for the simple question of "can it be done", certainly it can, it is the same chemical. The point the above answer could have made more clearly is that it should not be given if you do not know what you are doing. Unfortunately, some people do not have access to vets, and I understand that. In that case the internet is a great source of information, although it can also be a source of misinformation. Be careful in any case.

What are brand names of opioids?

Some opiod drugs include morphine, heroin, hyrocodone, oxycodone, and of course opium. Opioids have inherent analgesic (pain relieveing) properties and haven been used both medicinally and recreationally since 6000 BCE, making it one of the oldest drugs.

Should Prednisone be taken in the morning?

well...not a wise thing to do as it does not make sense due to the fact that

corticosteroids are at highest level in the morning and in order to follow the natural cycle of secretion of these hormones in body it's better to take prednisolon(a corticosteroid) in the morning at 9 am (not on empty stomach).

Also a side effect of prednisolon could be insomnia so it's better to take it in the morning!

god bless united states! :)

Doctors will prescribe a fairly high dose of prednisone to bring inflammation under control, However after they feel the situation may require less or no more prednisone they will taper of the dose you are getting over a period of time. as your body needs time to adjust to the reduced amount of prednisone coming from outside the body.

Can you get the flu shot after taking Prednisone?

Ask the doctor who prescribed the antibiotics and prednisone if it is okay to get a flu shot while taking them. It will depend on why you are taking them. If you have a currently active and/or severe bacterial infection and you have a fever, you should wait until the fever is gone before getting a flu vaccination. If you have no fever but are still taking treatment for a bacterial infection, then you need to ask the doctor if you should wait so your body doesn't have to be working on two immune system actions at the same time or if your infection is beyond the stage where that might be a problem. Prednisone is a steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine, depending on dosage and the reason you are taking it, it may be okay to get a flu vaccination while using it, but the best plan is to talk to your health care professional first.

Are there any over the counter or prescription drugs that would cause Benzoylecgonine to be present in someone's urine?

I was tested positive twice one MONTH after I stopped taking Librium, (benzodiazepine). I would LOVE to know what else could have caused those positive results, because I can't imagine it could still be in my system a month after my last pill. Actually, Librium has a very long half life (the amount of time it takes for half of the medication to leave your body), and its metabolites (what it is broken down into - which would be similar to a benzodiazepine in a drug test) have even longer half lives. Clinical Pharmacology sums it up: Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) has a long half-life (5-30 hours) compared with other benzodiazepines, and the half-lives of its metabolites range from 14-100 hours. The risk of accumulation is high during periods of repeated dosing. Unchanged drug and its active metabolites are excreted in the urine, but the elimination is slower than that of other benzodiazepines because the metabolites can still be present in the blood for several weeks after the initial dosing interval. In other words, it still might have been in your system. Xanas is another drug. As long as whomever is doing the testing is aware of your medical condition and any drugs prescribed by your physician there should be no problem with urine testing. These drugs aren't like steroids and nothing to do with better performance in sports.
