Hello,
Thanks for the query
Drugs that are to be avoided are beta blocker(metoprool) used for high blood pressure and cardiac problem in patients with myasthenia also calcium channal blocker like (amlodipine)
Prednisolone can worsen diabetes. In diabetic medications that can be used are immunoglobulin in emergency and mycophenolate for long term
Avoid prednisolone as it can cause the listed side effects and can affect the vision
Please let me know if you have any other questions in this issue.
