Take separately: Do have some food in your stomach when taking prednisone, as it can be irritating to the gut lining. Take calcium separately for better absorption of the calcium.

Yes can take: It ihas been concluded that prednison ldp has a negative eff€ects on bone metabolism, since bone formation decrease while bone resorption remained-- unchanged or decreased slightly. The increase in PTH during ldp could be prevented by Calcitriol combined with calcium supplementation.
