Can anyone tell me if its ok to drink alcohol while taking PREDNISOLONE.
I like a beer at the weekend or to share a bottle of wine, but, can't find any thing in the Prednisolone paperwork that suggests not drinking.

Just pace yourself and if you are on any other medication, check with the Pharmacist, they know more about drugs and contra-indications than anyone else.

"Just the one glass though" (said my lovely GP the other week) - "Glasses come in all sizes" I pointed out.
There are medications where drinking isn't advisable but pred doesn't have it mentioned anywhere I can find - I have looked thoroughly! What some of us have found is that heavy reds or acidic whites (depending on the person) have become rather unfriendly while on pred - pred can make your stomach a bit delicate I suppose. Now I'm at a low dose even that seems to have improved but I don't do heavy reds at all any more. just lost the taste.

I never had a problem with the alcohol when I had my GCA which is now into the 4th year of remission.
Horses for courses is the best way as we are all so different but still caring humans.

No alcohol - or your liver falls off !
I even mark it on my calendar each week - this week is NA 45 - no alcohol 45 weeks ! But I am storing up all these bottles of fine California wine for when the pred hits zero and methotrexate is gone - watch out liver !!

Anyway, if for some reason your plane is diverted to LAX from Chicago, I'll have a nice bottle of California wine ready for you at the terminal but you'll have to 'sip' it all yourself !!

So if you do end up at LAX, you'll have to share the vino !
In the meantime have a great trip to China and not too much baijiu.
