Can I take prednisone with supplements, diagnosed with poison ivy?

I take a ton of supplements, and what you have listed is not excessive. actually Vit. E is a very good anti-oxidant, it made the news because people were taking too much. You are not taking too much. I don't know how old you are, but just a suggestion. CoQ10 is broken down in the body into Ubiquinol. After age 40, you have a very difficult time breaking down the CoQ10, so you are actually wasting all that money. Purchase half the dose of Ubiquinol instead. That way you don't pee out any, and your body utilizes all of the supplement, which is a very important supplement. Especially since you are taking red yeast rice, which is a statin. Hopefully by now you are off your pred, and the poison ivy is gone.

This shouldn't be a problem as far as I know either. You might check the interreactor checker above. Type in your meds & it will give you a list of foods that interreact with prednisone also. I don't know of any, but the supplements you list are mostly found in foods. Good luck to you. I have been lucky so far this year, & haven't gotten any poison ivy yet. Hope it continues this way...

Hi. Stop the vitamin C because it is not good with prednisone. Absorption issues. Stop the Vitamin E because new research has shown that it can cause health problems later in life.

The poison ivy should be clearing quickly. This must be a quick small dose pack. So you can go back to the C Vit. When you are done. Used to get poison ivy every summer as a kid. Nasty stuff. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I don't think they would be a problem, but check with your pharmacist.
