Is it safe to take Prednisolone with Protonix (Pantaprazole)

[Hwyfrz]

Hi,

I've been prescribed with Prednisolone 20mg currently with 40mg of Protonix Pantaprazole

Question is, is it safe? There is no drug interactions? If not, then I might change to other type of Proton Pump Inhibitors?

I don't know about prednisone and protonix, but I have taken it with both nexium and dexilant with no problem.

I take both prednisone and protonix without problems.

It seems that my diarrhea becomes worst after taking Protonix. I had it under control when I was on Prednisolone alone. The PPI is taken to safeguard my stomach from upper bleeding & GERD.

You might try sucralfate, a medication which coats your stomach and helps make sure the prednisone doesn't cause irritation. I've taken it when the prednisone causes stomach pain. I'm not sure about the diarrhea; I suffer from the opposite problem.
