Regarding propafenone and its interaction with steroid I will like to keep it short and simple for you to maintain clarity.

Propafenone can be taken by the patient according to dose and schedule prescribed by the doctor . It has very minor to no interaction with most steroids there shouldn't be any thing to worry about. He can take medication without any fear of dangerous interaction with steroids.

I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.
