Hi Morgan.

I don't want to give you medical advice, but most patients, when having a flare-up can take those at the same time. However, every patient is different and I would confirm this. If your doctor doesn't reply either by phone or e-chart message, I would give your local pharmacist a call and see what they say. They are excellent when giving advice about the timing of taking your medicines. Hope this helps and you get an answer!

Morgan,

Hello! I am sorry that you are experiencing a flare up as you prepare to depart for your trip. I am not allowed to give medical advice, but I have taken both at the same time in the past.

I do hope that your doctor gets back to you soon.

Do you have high blood pressure/ cardiac issues? Please monitor your blood pressure since prednisone can elevate your blood pressure. Prednisone has elevated my blood pressure in the past.

Take prednisone with food- This helps reduce stomach irritation. 

Prednisone can raise blood glucose in some people - be mindful of not consuming too much sugar/ carbohydrates.  Also, be mindful of stomach irritation. Avoid taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) without checking with a healthcare professional.

Be mindful of foods that you are eating with the antibiotics. Avoid spicy and fatty foods if you can.

1. Taking antibiotics with food may help settle an upset stomach.
2. Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium should not be taken simultaneously. I hope that this is not too much information- I am a firm believer of taking preventative measures. I hope that all goes smoothly for you.
