Question 1

can i take tylenol extra strength with prednisone 20mg?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no interaction problems with these 2 medications.

Question 2

i'm on prednisone for an allergic reaction to something unknown. i also have chronic leg pain. what is safe to take besides tylenol?

Accepted Answer

NSAID is ok: You may also try NSAID with the understanding that your stomach will more likely to get upset because of the prednisone . Taking OTC antacid medication may help reduce the side effects.  There are also topical (Rx) NSAID available as well.   I am puzzled as to what kind of allergic reaction you are taking prednisone for.

Question 3

can i take prednisone and proair inhaler together and if needed tylenol and robitussin dnt? i also take zoloft 50mg at night. i'm 42 years old.

Accepted Answer

Mgt: You can take the Pro Air and Prednisone together. if you have asthma, I would advise against the Robitussin.
Nasal saline rinses for congestion may help.

Question 4

my wife is pregnant first month. she suffers from severe ra for years. she is in severe pain. tylenol not helping. rheum dr said she can take low prednisone. ob said no.nothing just tylenol.primary dr said she can take norco.she confused.who 2 listen?

Accepted Answer

Whereas: the Rheumatologist is suggesting one of a number of treatments for your wife's problem, her PCP knows her case more completely and will take her general health into consideration when  prescribing medications. MY VOTE is for your PCP! 
Hope this is helpful!

Question 5

can i take panadol (acetaminophen) if i already taken prednisone 20mg?

Accepted Answer

Panadol (acetaminophen) prednisone: Yes you can. They are very different molecules.

Question 6

i was prescribed zpak, prednisone, and acetaminophen/codeine syrup for bronchitis. should this be helpful?

Accepted Answer

Medications: The ZPak is a good broad spectrum antibiotic and Prednisone will treat inflammation, particularly if you had wheezing on exam. 
The cough syrup combined with Tylenol (acetaminophen) can help with fever and cough. I usually advise using Tylenol (acetaminophen) only for fever and a cough preparation only if you need it to sleep. 
Most bronchial infections though are viral and not treated with antibiotics.

Question 7

i have a bad sore throat and was just started taking prednisone 1mg (11:30am) and singulair 10mg (8pm). can i take tyelnol or ibuprofen for pain?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or another cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, one sees a doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). A couple days of Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin (ibuprofen) can temporarily decrease pain.

Question 8

what else can i do .  iam am having severe back pain, on nsaids, norco, (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) prednisone, muscle relaxers but still have horrible pain.  ca?

Accepted Answer

Back pain: I will assume you've seen a doctor already given the medications you are taking.  Since the pain occurred after trauma, did you have any xrays or ct?  A good history and exam can usually distinguish musculoskeletal pain from cancer related back pain.  Sometimes the only cure for back pain is time to heal.  It is important that you continue to follow-up with your doctor as an MRI may be necessary.

Question 9

can you take tylenol (acetaminophen) with prednisone? if so what dose.

Accepted Answer

Yes acetaminophen: has no significant cross adverse reaction with steroids.  325 mg or 650 mg every 6 hours is acceptable.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 10

can you take tylenol (acetaminophen) with prednisone and doxy-cyclhycl?

Accepted Answer
