What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Prednisone, Cetirizine And Hydroxyzine Together?
Hello, I have been prescribed 30mg a day of Prednisone for 5 days, along with Cetirizine 20mg a day, and Hydroxyzine in the evening, for Cholinergic Urticaria. things have been really bad the past couple of weeks. will the prescribed dosage of the prednisone and antihistamines together have side effects, even for just 5 days on Prednisone?

Hello,
Please note that prednisolone 30 mg a day for 5 days does not cause any major side effect. But Cetirizine and hydroxyzine will give a sedative effect combined.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Varinder Joshi , General & Family Physician
