Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone has ever taken both prednisone and Mesalamine at the same time.
I was very briefly on Mesalamine back in December, but it led to some pretty painful sore throat, and some mouth puffiness so I stopped it (after consulting GI).
He put me on Antibiotics, (ugh) and afterwords prednisone in hopes to stop the bleeding from what seems to be proctitis as a complication of my crohn's. Unfortunately, neither the Antibiotics or Pred have done anything for the bleeding, and since I did get some relief from the bleeding taking Mesalamine for the brief time I was on it, I was thinking about starting back on it again, and the doctor also hinted that he thinks the sore throat may not have been med related (though I'm pretty confident otherwise, n=1, but the correlation was 100%...).
So I think I'm going to go back on Mesalamine, and I'm wondering if anyone currently takes Mesalamine and Prednisone. I think if it was a mild allergic reaction I was experiencing, the Pred might keep that down, but also the pred has had some other nice side effects for me as well over the past week i've taken it, so I'm wary about stopping it suddenly.
Best, and thanks.
