- Ketoconazole: This antifungal raises prednisolone levels in the blood, increasing side effect risk.
- Diuretics (furosemide, thiazides): Combined use can cause excessive loss of potassium from the body.
- Anticoagulants (warfarin): Prednisolone may alter how blood thinners work, requiring dose monitoring.
- Antidiabetic medicines (metformin, insulin): Prednisolone can raise blood sugar, requiring dose adjustments.
- Live vaccines: Neupred syrup reduces immunity, making live vaccines unsafe during treatment.
- Cyclosporine: Combined use may increase the levels of both medicines and raise toxicity risk.
Risks and warnings
