A member asked:
If im allergic to penicilin, can i take prednisone instead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Penicillin: Penicillin is an antibiotic and treats infections, Prednisone is a steroid and treats inflammation, they are not given for the same condition, so you need to consult your doctor about your symptoms.
