Are these meds ok together?

Question

I took 1,000 mg of extra strength tylenol this morning at 8am (for a headache). Then at 8:30 I took 20 mg of Predisone (for a rash I have). The rash is still bothering me; can I take Benadryl on top of these 2 other drugs? I know it's ok with Pred, but not sure about Tylenol.

Thanks.

Answer 1

When I'm uncertain about a combination of drugs, I call a pharmacist at any pharmacy.  They know best which drugs interact.  It's best to be safe!  I hope your rash goes away soon, it sounds miserable.

Answer 2

yes.. it will be fine... benadryl is a very safe drug... sounds like you are having a bad day... hope you feel better.........

Answer 3

I think that you will be just fine. I had an allergy attack last month to latex

I was on prednisone for 3 weeks and he told me to take benedryl,and tylenol for pain if needed, but i had percocet so no big deal.

If you need to return to the Dr, these prescriptions  may also help:

for the itch,

i asked for vistaril 50 mg also known as atarax (hydroxyzine) I have tons of allergies

(it does and will make you drowsy -lol) or the 25mg

and also what you might need  you may want to ask for some triamincolone creme (cortisone) .1mg is what they may  give you-

I asked for the .5 and it worked much better.

NO need suffering.  total cost at walmart was less then 15.00 to stop the crazy itching!

Answer 4

It should be.  Tylenol is a pain killer.  Benadryl is an anti-itch/allergy thing.
