Is Prednisone Effective In Managing Allergies?
If I might be allergic to a med I'm taking, the doctor puts me on Prednisone for multiple days but doesn't know what med I'm allergic too. On 9 meds at the same time.
He has me continuing my meds. So I guess I'm safe taking the meds and Prednisone is protecting me ?
