Taking prednisolone with other medicines and herbal supplements

There are many medicines that can affect the way prednisolone works, or increase the risk of side effects. It's very important you check a medicine is safe to take with prednisolone before you start taking it.

This includes anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen and aspirin.

There's very little information about taking herbal remedies and supplements with prednisolone.

It's not possible to say that herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with prednisolone. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
