Prednisone & Advil

Bad combination?

I usually use Advil as opposed to Tylenol as Tylenol generally doesn't help much. But I know Advill can react badly with some drugs and wondered if this was one of them. No issues as of yet, but then again, I wanted to check and find out if I should pick up a bottle of Tylenol just incase I need it in the next two weeks.

Re Prednisone & Advil

There's no direct interaction, but they're both problematic on the stomach so I would switch to Tylenol for that reason during the interim if you can.

Re Prednisone & Advil

Thanks! Got smart and called the pharmacy and they said the same thing and to make sure I eat something when I take it.

Re Prednisone & Advil

And would you care to enlighten us as to why you are taking prednisone? Or at least me via PM or email?

Re Prednisone & Advil

Mysterious allergic reaction. Go figure.

I really do need to get a referral to an allergist. Soon.

Re Prednisone & Advil

Yeah, this is all starting to sound familiar.

Doesn't prednisone just suck? (That is a real question BTW, I've never taken it.)

Prednisone is keeping Astro alive - don't ask me how prednisone stops feline gastrolymphoma tumors from growing, but it does, thank God.

Yes it really does.


And I am hopefully going in this a.m. to get anew prescription, so I can breathe. Diet? What diet? Grumble.

Re Prednisone & Advil

I know what you mean about the diet thing. I'm trying to be soooo careful about what I eat for the two weeks (thank goodness only that long!) that I'm on it. I'm starving and want nothing but crap, but so far I'm doing good!

Thankfully I'm not having the horrible side effects I had last time, and it seems to be (although very slowly) helping. Being in the sun is excruciating, but otherwise I'm mostly good.

Re Prednisone & Advil

Being in the sun? What about that- do I need to know this? I live outside during the summer.

Re Prednisone & Advil

It doesn't have anything to do with the Prednisone, just my rash. Whenever I have my reactions, it's always horrible to be in the sun. It's finally healing though, so I'm hoping I'll be okay this weekend because I know I'll be outside all weekend, and it's supposed to be bloody hot. I will not be a happy person at all if I'm miserable outside and stuck in the hot house.

Re Prednisone & Advil

Had my appointment this morning and apparently I'm allergic to nothing. That makes no sense at all.

Margo, you're reading my mind!

I almost posted the same thing earlier, but changed my mind.

Re Prednisone & Advil

Well that's interesting (said in the best Johnny Depp impersonation I can muster).

I always wondered about the allergy to Benedryl. Just never seemed right. So you did the scratch test and they tested the things that you think you are allergic to? Latex? Mold, trees, grass, etc.,? Cats?
