What should I avoid while taking prednisone?
Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Call your doctor for preventive treatment if you are exposed to chicken pox or measles. These conditions can be serious or even fatal in people who are using steroid medication.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while you are being treated with prednisone. Vaccines may not work as well while you are taking a steroid.
 | Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking prednisone. |
