For some people, taking naproxen and prednisone at the same time is a bad idea. Contact your health provider for advice specific to your situation.

Generally speaking, this is nonsensical. However, there may be exceptions when a highly trained specialist would use combinations of drugs which otherwise seem to be inappropriate. If the two prescriptions are coming from two different doctors, the patient should clarify with each to determine which should be used.

Take all prescriptions (singly or in combination) only as prescribed.

Your doctor can provide personalized advice based on your specific health situation.

What is the Prednisone dosage for 113 pound dog with high grade lymphoma?

I don't know if the dosage varies for high grade lymphoma, nor do I know which form of Prednisone you are referring to, so I will give you the general dosage of 'regular' Prednisone, instead of a compound steroid.

According to my book, which is a comprehensive guide for drug usage in dogs and cats, the dosage for a 113 pound dog is .5-1 mg/kg PO q 12h. Translation: 1/2 to 1 milligram per killogram of body weight by mouth every 12 hours. Your dog weighs 113 pounds, which is 51.25 killigrams, so the dosage of this med would be 25 to 51 milligrams every 12 hours.

Keep in mind, though, that the dosage varies for many illnesses, so please, consult with your vet before giving your dog this medication. Usually, when a dog (as well as people) take this med, it has to be gradually decreased, and not just discontinued, even after taking it for just a short while.

Also, keep in mind, the dosage I gave you is only a general guideline for this particular med. You can probably call your local emergency animal clinic for free, and they can answer your question much better. This would certainly be much safer for your dog.

I can't stress enough the importance of asking a professional before taking the advice of a non-professional. While I do have some knowledge in medicine, I am not a professional, so I strongly advise you to check with one.

Can you take Advil with prednisone. Taking 20 mg prednisone for 5 days only to treat an adverse allergic reaction to another medication?

You should ONLY take medicines under the direction of a qualified medical practitioner (a doctor).

Self medication is not only dangerous to you, it also allows germs to become immune to the medications you are taking, making these medications ineffective. Go and see a doctor.

The vet put my dog on prednisone 20mg I can not afford to take him back as asked by the vet but I'm not sure if I should be tapering him off the prednisone the way humans need to?

It depends on the size and weight of your dog. Check with your vet. You do not always have to taper off Prednisaone. If you are only taking it for 5 days it can be prescribed as a 20 mg pill once a day for 5 days. The Vet knows what he is doing, just follow his instructions!
