Can you take Berberine with Prednisolone?

[Bobbikins]

Does anybody know of any drug interactions between prednisolone and the herbal supplement Berberine?

I need some medication are affected by this supplement, but no mention of prednisolone.

Prednisolone isn't processed by the liver (prednisone is, to make prednisolone) and it is drugs processed by the liver that might be affected.

Why do you want to use it? The most likely effect taken with prednisolone is that you might bruise even more.

Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated. I read that it’s good for gut health and IBS.As you pointed out, prednisolone makes you bruise more easily, So maybe not such a good idea.
