Hello,
Brief answer: No serious interaction with your drugs, Ganaton preferred to be taken 1 hour before meal.
Explanation: My opinion is that your heart pain needs to be assessed well. Corticosteroids as a side effect may cause some gastritis or in severe cases peptic ulcer. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion.
If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about age and risk factors as sometimes heartburn may resemble angina pain .also ask about timing of this complaint whether happen after meals or continuous or after exertion.
Conclusion: I suggest you check your specialist to review your complaint and may do some investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
