Hi. I was proscribed prednisone for bronchitis yesterday, I took 3 tablets around 630pm and just took 2 acetaminophen/codene 300mg/3mg that I was proscribed to take before a bed a few months ago for a knee injury. I hadn t finished the bottle and re injuried my knee yesterday and couldn t sleep tonight. I m sure the prednisone is out of my system by the time I took the other pill. I just want to make sure the two aren t dangerous to take together.
Dear patient both medicines prednisone and acetaminophen can be taken together without any significant interaction and side effects. But do not neglect your knee injury. If pain was so severe to interfere with your sleep at least X-ray of the knee needs to be done in anteroposterior and lateral views. If its normal you don't need to worry. And if its abnormal consider visit to expert orthopedic surgeon nearby you.
