Can The Z Pack Be Taken With Prednisone For Chronic Cough?
I am not sure how to take medication I was given today. Just diagnosed with hyperactive airway disease which has caused a chronic cough for a number of years. I have Zithromax (ZPack) and Prednisone. Not sure if I should take the ZPak first until finished and then the prednisone, or take them both at the same time. This will be followed up with a CAT Scan of my sinusus. Doctor out until Tues. Any thoughts on this.

Hi,
You may start Z Pack and prednisolone simultaneously. Stop Z Pack after the course. However, Prednisolone is to be stopped in a gradual tapering manner of dosage.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
