Brief Answer:
Do you have allergy symptoms right now?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this asthma flare up that you have. Prednisone is also used in treating allergies. I would expect that you will not have allergy symptom sir taking prednisone already. However, if you continue to have symptoms, I will recommend you go ahead and take zyrtec. there is no contraindication in taking both drugs together. There is no added risk doing so, as well.

In all, only take Zyrtec is you have symptoms. Otherwise, prednisone is a good drug for this as well. It is safe to take them together.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
