I have RA and have been told to separate doses of folic acid and methotrexate by 8 hours on the advice of a pharmacist. Has anyone been told to separate the doses of prednisone and folic acid as well? New pharmacist just tells me to check the internet.
Can I take prednisone and folic acid at the same time without one destroying the other?

My provider has prescribed prednisone, Zyrtec & Pepcid as pre-medications an hour before my Methotrexate injection. I take the folic acid earlier in the day (everyday). I don't know if this answers your question. I just started this regimen 3 weeks ago. Any questions or comments?

a couple months late, but I'm taking prednisone and folic acid at the same time in the morning and in the evening.. My pharmacist didn't say anything about me taking them together, they were more concerned with making sure I take the folic acid to counter the bad side effects from methotrexate..
