Checked on the Interactions Checker and a list was found, you perhaps will have to discuss it your doc/pharmacist who prescribed the meds. You could read for your self on this site: http://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=1936-0,1440-852,1031-10436
Take care, be safe & well!

steroids, prednisone, cause what they call "Moon face" which makes your face round.zThis is not an allergic reaction but a side effect and is not dangerous.I also am taking Arava with 7 mg prodnisone, they are tryig to titrate me off.I have also gained about 12 lbs taking prednisone.It tends to make me eat more.
