Does Synthroid Interact With Prednisone?

default
Posted on Fri, 7 Apr 2017
Question: I am taking 5MG once a day of prednisone for polymyalgia. The only other pharmysutical I take is Synthroid, which I take at night before bed. Is there a conflict with these two meds? Also are there any foods, vitamins, spices/herbs that I should be aware of consuming along with the prednisone? I know with the Synthroid that I have to be careful with food containing Calcium, allowing 2 hrs on each end taking the Synthroid. Also I am aware of the interaction of grapefruit with synthroid. I am
wondering about prednisone the do's and don'ts of combinations of food, etc.

Good evening

Thank you for writing on HealthcareMagic,

Well as such there is not much contraindications of foods with prednisolone. The only thing is the to avoid fatty foods(as it helps you put on weight), keep checking your blood sugars(for possible diabetes due to steroid) and low salt diet..

Moreover don't let Prednisolone increase your weight so be XXXXXXX and keep low on carbohydrates and fats...

Hope the information was useful. Do let me know for more queries.

Dr Naval
