Prednisone Tylenol Facts in Questions
Can I mix tylenol PM with Prednisone? I am taking 30 mg of prednisone for a thrown out back and it is my next to last day. The prednisone was prescribed by my doctor. Anyway I took my bed time tablet and 2 tylenol PM's to relieve the pain. Will I be alright?

ontopofoldsmokie replied: "Yes, you can take both. Tylenol will not interfere with steriods and the pm portion is just some diphenhydramine. It might make you very sleepy. So, don't drink alcohol and be careful about driving."

Emily the Scientist replied: "Yes, you'll be fine."

jeannie_love2003 replied: "i was on prednisone....i was told to wait 6 hours before i took my tylenol pms..did you call your doctor..i hope your ok now.."

PRGfUSMC replied: "Yes, tylenol is recommended with Prednisone. You are NOT supposed to take aspirin or ibuprofin"

PREDNISONE AND TYLENOL can i take them? i am taking prednisone 5MG 2 tabslets twice a day for my bones and joint pain (i think i have arthritis)im 18 ,,,but any way that time of the month is here and i just want to know if i can take two tylenols for my horrible cramps i usually take two tylenols for the pain twice a day ,,so i want to know can i use both pills at the same time,, the prednisone and tylenol???

NYCWoman replied: "Yes, you can but you might want to space them a little bit, like perhaps an hour apart. Prednisone is quite tough on the digestive system though, so you should look to take it with some crackers or something so it doesn't mess with your stomach too much but the tylenol is safe to take while taking prednisone Take care."

BrattyArmyBiatch replied: "Yes you can take them together. But first I need to warn you of the major side effects of Prednisone. I was 19 when I was first put on it. I now am 32 and on SSI disability from the Prednisone causing bone loss, spinal stenosis and avascular nercrosis. This is a very serious drug with very serious side effects. I would advise EVERYONE and ANYONE whom takes it not to! Sadly I was an R.N. and knew alot about the drug and asked several doctors I worked for about the side effects yet no one knew nor told me if they did know about these effects. Be careful!"

♥i.heart.him replied: "To be sure either call you pharmacist or go to and look it up. They have a drug interaction finder and it will tell you if there are any interactions or not."

craiggles replied: "yeah"

I just dont know if they will react or whatnot

Hummer Babe replied: "You need to start taking the prednisone ASAP. Tylenol with codeine is not going to interact."

jaja1111 replied: "The Tylenol 4 is a pain med and prednisone is a steroid. Two completely different birds. I wouldn't hesitate to take them both. If you're still worried about it, call any pharmacy and ask the pharmacist if you can take these together. They know all that stuff."

How long will aches last after a twelve week Prednisone taper? I was on IV Prednisone. I started at 60 mg and a week ago tried to stop my approved taper but my jaw became stiff and mouth barely opened. Took three more days of Prednisone. Now my shoulders and head ache like crazy. Anyone know how long this will last? I ache. I am taking only Tylenol as I have surgery scheduled in 11 days and can not take aspirin products.

M J replied: "hi ,12 weeks is fairly long for steroids ,you must taper off as directed and go the full term. once you have fully stopped ,your body has to re-adjust and function normally again . it,s abit like detoxing so could take around 2 to 3 weeks so dont be worried. but if you become concerned just have a chat with your doctor ok ,hope this put,s your mind at ease."

annalyzedgourds replied: "Are you tapering as per your doctors instructions? It shouldn't be so painful for much longer. Good luck on your surgery. I'm glad you decided to have it and hopefully you will feel much better when that's behind you."

I am taking Prednisone 20 mg for 5 days and i can't sleep, is it ok to take tylenol PM with it? The drugs in the Tylenol PM are Acetaminophen, and Diphenhydramine HCl

Clamshell 19 replied: "Absolutely The Tylenol will not effect the Prednisone. This is a common side effect... sleeplessness."

Rocky W replied: "Prednisone has steriods. This is probably what is keeping you awake. Talk to your doctor and see if you can take it earlier, like in the a.m. and maybe that will help. Do not mix any meds unless you talk with your doctor or pharmacist. It's not worth the risk of dying because you mixed meds."

Does Tylenol or aspirin have any side effects if taken while under current medication of prednisone.? What I mean is...is it safe to take aspirin?

SAMI replied: "You can take both but in reduced dose for painful bones,muscles and joints."

I take prednisone , 15 mg and have been on it for 6 months..? now i have left hip pain and can barely walk unless i take extra strength tylenol. I heard of a condition called aspetic necrosis..(bone death ) caused from the prednisone..this scares me ..anyone else here ever take prednisone and run into hip problems and if so what happened and how was it fixed? thank you. p.s i am 32 years old.

RationalThinker replied: "I've been on Prednisone several times, but never for more than 3-6 weeks. Time to get a second opinion."

Garacaius replied: "Talk to your doctor as soon as possible. I have heard of the condition before. I was on heavy doses of prednisone ( 70 mg/day ) for four years and never had hip or joint problems, it about drove me crazy mentally though. My doctor was finally able to wean me off of it when my condition changed ( sarcoicosis ). Talk to your doctor asap, Good Luck."

SMART @SS replied: "I've been taking prednisone for quite a while for my rheumatoid arthritis. It helps with the pain a lot, but after taking it for a period of time, you body may build an immunity to it. Try taking aleve for a few weeks, then switch back to prednisone. Aleves active ingredient is Naproxen. It's an anti inflamatory that works well with any kind of joint or bone pain. after that, switch back. You won't want to increase your dose of prednisone without your doctors consent. If I were you though, ask your doctor if there is anything else that you can take instead of prednisone. As I said before, it works great for pain, but there are a lot of side affects that can be associated with it such as moonface, necrosis, and even diabetes. P.S. Its not going to be easy to ween you off that stuff though. You cant suddenly quit taking it. If you do, you may experience flare ups with your pain. Ask your doctor for information on how to get off it."

books are cool replied: "It's best to see your doctor. long-term steroid/Prednisone use can hide other health problems and weaken your immune system."

What can I take when nothing else has worked? I went to the doc today and got prednisone to clear up and infection in my ear and jaw. my doc told me to take extra strength Advil or Tylenol. nothing has helped and I am in major pain. what should i do? i cant go to the hospital because i dont have the money. the only reason i went to the doc is because my school provides them for us. What can I do? My ear and jaw are hurting so badly I am about to cry. Any ideas?

Jane replied: "Take a hot/warm shower, it may relax you enough get some pain relief. Call the doctor tomorrow and see if he can call in a pain med prescription to the pharmacy (walmart is only $4). explain that the tylenol isn't working."

Moped Mama replied: "you need an antibiotic oral or ear ? for infection predisone for swelling? tylenol for pain you have an infection in your jaw wisdom tooth? rotten tooth broken tooth? my son cracked his tooth then it abscessed so anything is possible, try putting a hot tea bag on your pain area try drinking ginger tea, spice tea cinnamon? if its a tooth a raisin will help draw the infection out just break the raison and lay it over the tender side then see a DDS. the hospital should have moneys or your should be able to get assistance pay a1.00 a month if you must but try ER ."
