Antibiotics and Prednisolone

3 Replies

Hello

I've got a chest infection and have been given amoxicillin and prednisolone to take to try and sort it out. My lungs are really hurting at the moment.

I've never taken them together before and wondered whether it is common to take both together, it feels like a lot of medication.

Also, sorry but do I take all the prednisolone at once, like six tablets at once? It is a few years since I've had pred and it isn't clear on the box.

Apologies if this is a silly question!

Hi, don't worry it's quite normal to have antibiotics and pred. it's best to take the pred on a morning after food and all at the same time. X
