A member asked:
My doctor gave me prednisone 20mg daily for my itchy hives, can i still take my nightly doxepin and daily claritin (loratadine) 10mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: You can, but I'm certain your doctor gave you the prednisone for a limited time, possibly tapering (?) which makes it even safer to use.
