I read that it takes up to 8 hrs to kick in but it's been almost 9 and the pain hasn't gone away. And my breathing is still wheezy but slowly getting better. Is it okay to take ibprophen for the pain?

    I wouldn’t take ibuprofen. Just because I’ve read that ibuprofen can have negative effects on people who have asthma. And it can also cause interactions with the prednisone. Now  acetaminophen, I have taken with prednisone and I’ve had no ill effects. Also prednisone can take up to a day or so to fully kick in, if you are taking oral medication. Also if this is your first time on prednisone, buy some stool softener. Prednisone can make people very Constipated.  If you have any more questions, just ask me. I’ve taken prednisone a few times.
