612551 tn?1450022175 -) Benadryl does not contain prednisone. And I am willing to be that it was the pred that helped your dog the most: it is known in vet-circles as a 'miracle drug' because it can be used to heal alot of things. I just googled temeril-p and here is what I found: Composition Each tablet contains trimeprazine tartrate (USP) 10-[3-(Dimethylamino)-2-methylpropyl] phenothiazine tartrate (2:1) equivalent to trimeprazine, 5 mg, and prednisolone, 2 mg.
1540112 tn?1293016134 Hello, Apart from steroid which you are already taking and as told to you earlier, antihistaminics like Benadryl and Claritin and calamine lotion and Burrow’s solutions are going to help you. You need to follow up qith your doctor and take the steroids as prescribed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar n tn Previcox and Prednisone should not be given together. This combination increases the danger of gastrointestinal ulceration and other problems which can be dangerous. Benadryl should be safe, but it can rarely cause breathing problems. Prednisone can also cause increased panting. Previcox can be safely used with Tramadol (another analgesic), if the Previcox is insufficient alone. Put your dog on 5mg. of Pepcid twice daily to try and prevent GI issues. Pepcid is available over the counter.
369994 tn?1225733799 The doctor then gave me a shot of prednisone, the lowest dose(120mg) and had me to start taking the prednisone pills the next day 20 mg a day for ten days and then 10mg a day for ten days. So far, I am on my second day of prednisone pills. The bumps seem to be fading somewhat, but are still there and flare up after a bath and so forth. I still have itching and tingly, prickly sensation all over really bad! I hope this will clear it all the way up!
Avatar f tn t taken benadryl in over 24hrs either because I felt taking all these medications was making me feel bad and I figured since my skin looked normal the reaction was over. I took the missed dose of prednisone now and my next dose is at 11am is that too early for the next one? What should I do if I continue feeling palpitations in my throat?
Avatar f tn t have it, and yet, the dr who is trying to diagnose my fibromyalgia insists I try it again anyway with 40mg prednisone 2x before the test, 50mg benadryl before the test and then 40mg prednisone after the test. I reacted to 20mg prednisone years ago with a red rash, heart palpitations, swollen stomach and my head felt like it was going to explode. I had 25mg of benadryl when I had an anaphylactic reaction in 1988 after being given epinephrine, and I slept for 3 days.
Avatar f tn Good evening~ My sister is having this same type of reaction (x2 days) with it seeming to worsen a little with benadryl and prednisone (steroids). Did you rash clear up, and did you find out what the cause was? Was there a particular medication that cleared it up? Would appreciate any input you can give. Hers is quite severe looking. Thanks!
2015036 tn?1332997788 Ugh, no, I haven't heard of this. It must be pretty rare. I think you might be okay doing the benadryl and prednisone for the immediate future, but talk to your neuro as soon as you can. You don't want to be on prednisone or any steroid on a long term basis. I'm not sure what else you've tried, but if you've been through all the injectibles, Gilenya is the next logical step, as it's an oral drug. And several others are soon to be available.
Avatar f tn I went to the hospital immediately they told me I had uvulitis gave me prednisone and told me to take benadryl. I did the whole 5 days of prednisone the sore throat went away and the uvula went down a bit. Then around the middle of June I noticed it felt like something was stuck in my throat I looked and my tonsils seemed to be really swollen but no pain. At that time I had no health insurance so I couldn't get to the doctor. I gargled with salt water and the swelling went down some.
689528 tn?1364135841 Hello, My wife and I have two boxers and we went crazy with their allergies, treating the symptoms from puppy-hood. Our male especially would be sooo itchy, and get hot spots and even his lips and jowls would swell, his ears would get red and itchy.... The poor thing would scratch till he bled. We would load him up on benedryl, we didn't know what to do. Our EX-vet was making a fortune on us until we decided to get a second opinion.
Avatar f tn I am interested in Parkinson's research on the use of Prednisone to treat symptoms. My husband has had Parkinson's for about 10 years and recently took 5 days of 20mg. Prednisone tables twice a day for a pinched nerve. It completely removed his symptoms; he was tremor ... [More] free, clear thinking, strong voice, no walking problems, no slowness - NOTHING! It was like a miracle. He is now done with the Prednisone, and is back to where he was before.
Avatar n tn I took her to the vet and they gave me antibiotics and took a scraping for fungus but the results will take two weeks to come back. Yesterday she was scratching and I know she can have Benadryl, so I have her half a tablet morning and night, but the poor thing was so sleepy! Today she seems much better and there seem to be fewer sores, so I was wondering if it would be okay to give her Alavert instead since it is non-drowsy? She weighs 12 lbs.
2147300 tn?1369689688 As well as there being a drug-drug interaction between these drugs as pooh has posted ,it is generally advised to not take sytemic immunospressants while doing HCV therapy There seems to be ongoing controversy about immunosuppressive steroid(prednisone) use and how it affects or if it affects HCV viral replication.
Avatar f tn s not unusual for it to take 8 hours to develop the hives since the drug had to work its way throughout his system. They gave him prednisone and benadryl and within an hour, the hives were gone. My son has never had a drug allergy before, but this was his 1st time taking this drug.
Avatar m tn Benadryl and prednisone. You can get the benadryl over the counter, but the prednisone is a steroid that mush be prescribed. Have you seen your health care provider for this?
369994 tn?1225733799 I took one yesterday at 3pm.. and still the hives are horrible..As well I took a benadryl before bed.. a lot of good that did... I will start the 2nd day cycle today on the prednisone.. Has anyone ever taken Prednisone before for an allergic reaction to Penicillin?
Avatar f tn White/skin color bumps all over face and neck. Been there for about 6 weeks and just keep getting worse. They itchy badly and seemed to spread daily. This started after a viral infection about 6 weeks ago. They almost look like pimples but they are not. Have tried benadryl, hydrocortisone, calamine lotion and even prescription eczema cream. Nothing helps. They only spread on me and dont seem contagious to anyone else in my house.
Avatar n tn went to another Doctor who looked, felt the pimples, and seen the hives and rash .. he prescribed APO-HYDROXYZINE 25MG and after 32 hours the rash and hives increased spreading all over and more ithcier than before .. he also precribed Noritate 1% cream plus pHisoHex wash for the private area .. no help nothing improved the rash increased and so is the itch .. Any one with an answer to this ..
280418 tn?1306325910 I decided to try cutting the dose in half myself and after I took the lower dose within 2 hours I got the same side affects but even worse this time and ended up in the ER again. There they told me not to take anymore Prednisone and just use the Benadryl. It was at the ER they told me the problem I might have with the Zithromax is it has such a long half life. I called Pfizer and they told me since I was on the Zith for 10 days it will be another 20 days before it will be out of my system.
Avatar f tn I am diagonsed as graves too, and i am recently had hives, big rash on my head, legs , all over the body, I went to er and got benadryl , did not help, then dr prescribed me prednisone.
Avatar f tn They finally decided to give me a steroid shot and sent me home with 6 days of prednisone and an antihistamine to take every 6 hours that doesn't work. I also put Lamisil in case it was fungus. It looked like the welts were going down .About 8 hours later seems like welts are coming back an sms really itchy again.please help if you found something that works!
Avatar m tn Hi, I had a mild anaphalatic response after eating a protein bar with coconut, almond and peanuts. My throat tightened and my lips burned. I could breathe and swallow so I didn't go to the ER but Urgent Care. They gave me a prednisone pack but I started feeling better so I've just been taking Benadryl to avoid all the steroid side effects (prone to bad anxiety already). It's been almost 48 hours and I still feel like I have a little lump in my throat.
Avatar f tn First of all, let me say that I'm comfortable with my negative results and I have no further worries. But, I've seen posted on these forums MANY times about fears of medication interacting with HIV seroconversion. Which medications can delay seroconversion, if any? Maybe this will be helpful for people who are constantly worrying about if something as benign as Benadryl can affect them.
Avatar f tn m right-handed). I put a band-aid over it to help keep it out of sight and mind and took a Benadryl before bed that night thinking that, if it had anything to do with the testing the day before, the Benadryl would get rid of it. Now, four days from first noticing it, there's another small one next to it, one on the side of my arm, one on the back of my hand, and it looks like another two forming (other side of the arm and another on the back of my hand).
Avatar n tn I went out on the water on sunday and Monday it started. I started using Benadryl which has worked but im curious to find out what it is. Its red with little bumbs and the lines around my mouth are red. Does anyone have any idea on what this could be? I have an appointment scheduled with my dermatologist, but I would like a little insight about what it is. If you can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Avatar f tn t taken the med for over a week now and I am still getting crazy hives all over. My doc prescribed me prednisone that didn't seem to do anything. I take benadryl to temporarily relieve the symptoms. But the hives seem to be getting worse. Anyone have something similar? And have you had any luck getting rid of the hives permanently? I've never had allergies or had an allergic reaction to a med before. Am I going to be stuck with hives for the rest of my life?
