Prednisone

can i take benadryl and gabapentin together, if i knew the answer to this question that i have would not be looking online to find the answer

I am currently taking prednisone also, 50mg a day. It was making me hyper at night time even if I did take it early in the morning, So I talked with my Dr. and she told me 25mg of plain ol' Benadryl an hour before bed would work perfect.

Last night was the most sleep I have had in weeks. I woke up feeling better physically and mentally.

Both drugs are new antiherpesviral prodrugs and are given for the same disease. One may work better for an individual than the other. Unless your doctor prescribes them together, taking both at the same time is not recommended.

Yes, prednisone and ketorolac can be taken together, but it should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Both medications have anti-inflammatory properties but work through different mechanisms; however, combining them may increase the risk of side effects, particularly gastrointestinal issues. Always consult a doctor before combining medications to ensure safety and appropriate dosing.

Should I stop taking chlorpheniramine if I am now taing prednisone.

Taking Prednisone, a corticosteroid, can lead to side effects such as weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, and immune suppression. Remeron, an antidepressant, may cause sedation, weight gain, and increased appetite. When combined, these medications may amplify some side effects, particularly weight gain and sedation. It's essential to monitor for interactions and consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Yes, Prednisone can cause fatigue as a side effect. While it is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, some individuals may experience feelings of tiredness, weakness, or lethargy during treatment. Additionally, the body's adjustment to the medication and potential sleep disturbances can contribute to fatigue. If fatigue becomes severe or persistent, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.

Taking 20mg of prednisone can lead to various side effects, including mood changes such as irritability or increased aggression in some individuals. These effects vary widely among people and depend on factors like dosage, duration of use, and individual sensitivity to corticosteroids. If you experience significant mood changes while on prednisone, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

The purpose of cycloplegia in ocular inflammation is threefold:

1. reduces ocular pain by preventing cilliary body spasm

2. helps to stabilize blood/aqueous barrier

3.reduces area of contact of peripheral iris with anterior lens surface decreasing risk of synechie and possible angle closure.

Much protein is released into the AC by way of cell and flare, this is sticky and and contributes to the lens being bound to the iris. Additionally, the person is highly photophobic, by stabilizing the iris and cilliary body, they are much more comfortable.

The use of anti-inflammatory drugs can help relieve the joint and muscle aches that might occur when withdrawing from Prednisone. To reduce the side effects from Prednisone withdrawal doctors recommend tapering off the drug slowly.

Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid that is used to treat some inflammatory diseases and types of cancer amongst many other uses. It has significant adverse effects because it suppresses the immune system and leaves patients open to infections.

Dependence can happen if taken long term. There are many side-effects to be wary of. There are some health concerns with staying long term.

Withdrawal should be gradual and never abrupt.

Steroid use can "hide" signs and symptoms of an infection and also prolonged use of them may cause leukocytosis (or elevated white counts). Steroids cause increased bone marrow release of mature neutrophils, movement into the circulating neutrophil pool, and decreased tissue migration. An increase in white blood cells and neutrophilia occurs 4 to 8 hours after elevation of stress hormones or steroid use and return to normal 1 to 3 days after.

Apparently via loss of collagen in skin, increasing fragility. This was shown in biopsies of corticosteroid related bruises - done in 1960.

No, side effects of medication can be severe esp if underlying stomach issue requires ongoing care

Yes. I had this problem about 3 years ago. Had MRI and showed to be bursitis of shoulder. My dr. prescribed a dose pack and it worked. Haven't had any problems until this week.

Your friend most likely has shingles. It is caused by the varicella (or herpes) zoster virus. Initially, it causes chickenpox. Later in life, it may reactivate and cause shingles, which presents as a rash along a single dermatome, frequently preceded by burning or lancinating pain.

The particular cocktail of medications you have asked about are fairly typical for a shingles outbreak. Acyclovir is an antiviral drug which may decrease the time of outbreak if taken before the rash occurs. Tegretol is an anti seizure medication used in this particular instance to help control the neuropathic pain associated with shingles. Prednisone can be taken to help decrease the inflammation and pain associated with shingles, although this is not a medication I have used frequently for shingles, as it may cause other side-effects and worsen diabetes.

Change of age, usually from 9-15 years old for males, if you pee uncontrollably the best way to settle it is to wear a diaper or some type of absorbent underpants of such. This problem may go on for years depending on your age. It is very common for boys (especially 12 years old) to wear diapers because of this. I know several patients of mine who wear them. I'd personally recommend pamper's underjams or Huggies goodnites to anybody who has bladder issues, these are meant kids and teens (some adults too).

Answer

Nothing can replace prednisone. I suggest you go to your local A&E department or pharmacy, preferably with a previous prescription slip and tell them that you have lost your prednisone. They should provide you with emergency supplies.

Prednisone causes adrenal suppression, therefore you will stop producing your natural steroid. If you simply stop taking prednisone, then you can go into Addisonian crisis and die. This is why you MUST go to your A&E department or book an emergency appointment with your doctor. You may also be able to get emergency supplies from your pharmacy.

If your dog is on them, call the vet and ask.

Some people don't have a choice with their health issues so they have to take prednisone for an extended period of time. I would not suggest taking prednisone indefinitely unless your condition is extremely bad, and that is your only option.

As a short-term medication, prednisone can be extremely beneficial for various condition. Long-term, however, it has some serious side effects including:

Bone weakness/osteoporosis

Bleeding in stomach/intestines

Diabetes

Low calcium

Thin skin

Muscle problems

Nerve disease

Enlarged liver

Seizures

Hallucination

Ulcers

Pancreatic inflammation

Blood clots
