Mart7 03-03-2004, 02:10 AM I take a very low dose of prednisone for Systemic Lupus related issues. According to the prescription information I receive; it states that the combination of alcohol and prednisone can be harmful for the stomach. I personally do not tolerate alcoholic beverages well, so I don't drink, therefore, this hasn't been an issue for me. However, I do know sometimes the warnings can be "worse case scenarios", so as SnowyLynne stated; I would double check with your Doctor ... just to be on the safe side. -MJ positive4u 03-07-2004, 02:55 AM Is it safe to have a few beers w/ prednisone? DianeMarie73, Yes prednisone can be hard on the stomach & intestines. The higher the dose the worse it can be. You may not feel any problems now but when you add alcohol you can develop problems fast. Be careful! Positive4U |
