Prednisone

Corticosteroids are drugs that are used for health symptoms involved with inflammation and hormones. The drug reduces inflammation, treats autoimmune conditions, and replaces naturally occurring hormones.

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.

Just went to the vet and he switched our dog from duramax to prednisone. They DO NOT mix well. Doing so can severely hurt your dog.

It is the safest pain reliver/anti-inflammatory you could take while on a cycle. Many other options are much more taxing on your liver.

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.

Until this answer can be improved by a medical professional, a laymans answer will have to suffice. Some of the symptoms attributed to an alergic [anaphylatic] reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.These are symptoms of which I am aware, and there are probably others.

If Your Doctor Prescribed Them Together... :)

Yes you can. I've been prescribed Prednisone while on Zoloft by my Rheumatologist and Respirologists without any problems at all.

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.

Yes, you can. I have been taking singulair once a day for about a year now along with clarinex-d for the same amount of time. I was just given azithromycin 3 days ago and have been taking that as well for a respiratory infection. No side effects at all.

n 15mg prednisone

I am wondering the same thing. I was prescribed methylprednisolone by my doctor, but still trying to chill on an OC 80. is it a mix you really want to avoid?

I wouldn't recommend it, mixing prednisone and alcohol can give you ulcers. I'm not sure about avelox.

I have deep vein thrombosis in both legs. My doctor is a Vascular Surgeon. I am on coumadin for life, been this way for 8 years. 7.5 mg per day. I also have minor gout attacks, and he prescribed Colchicine for the gout. Advised that there would be no interaction risks with Coumadin. Of course, always check with your pharmacist and/or doctor, but my guy is very experienced, so this should not be a risk to combine the two drugs.....

The drugs are often given together for acute (very bad initiially) upper respiratory infection with wheezing or inflammation. The prednisone very quickly opens airways for better breathing. The amoxicillin is for infection, the most common ones in the upper breathing areas. The mucinex will thin the mucus which also has dead and live bacteria in it so that the antibiotic can work better. Mucinex also help you cough up or blow out this mucus.

Yes you can.. amoxicillin is just antibiotic, predisone is a non-anabolic steroid.

So actually the predisone will boost will potentiate the the way amoxicillin works. predisone will help you're whole immune system much stronger.

Generally, after taking prednisone for a short while, the condition will be resolved. Your appetite will return to normal and you won't be eating everything in sight and retaining water from eating salt. If prednisone is used for long term permanent conditions, then after a while, the effects of your condition will reappear. Depends on the disease, really and also what you mean by going "back to how you were before you began taking prednisone." If you mean, "are there permanent side effects from taking prednisone?" the answer is: long term usage and frequent short term usage of steroids will affect your bones...makes them brittle, but if you are healthy you will rebuild your bone mass. If you have Addison's disease and you go off the medication, you will have a return of symptoms.

If you are currently taking Straterra twice daily, as I am, you may need to try different times during the day. After I experimented, I found that I enjoy longer uninterrupted sleep if I take one dose at bedtime or a couple of hours before and take one dose in the morning. I tried taking a dose mid day and it would keep me focused longer, but I did not get the sleep results I desired and a good night's sleep was more important to me. After doing some research on Straterra I would say you should talk to your Dr. about increasing the mg she is taking. Check out Straterra.com and it will help you out alot. You should talk to your doctor about increasing the dose. An initial dose midday might allow her to complete her homework and be more engaged at school. My 8yrold weighs 40 pounds and takes the same 20mg dose. About the bedtime dose.. Not all children get drowsy on Straterra. A bedtime dose helps some children sleep. My son didnt sleep throught the night until he was 6. He now takes Clonidine for that.(He also has Tourettes and that takes care of both)

Whether you are exercising or not, bleeding during urination is never normal and cannot be diagnosed online. Please contact a medical professional for an appointment.

Yes

This possibly depends on why you are taking prednisone. If you are taking predinisone for a kidney problem then no. Ibuprofen is not good for people with kidney problems. The best thing to do is ask your doctor.

Prednisone is used to treat skin disorders and inflammation.
