Interactions with other drugs

Interactions with food items

• Disperse Wysolone DT 20 Tablet in water and take it with or just after breakfast. Food matters more at this strength, as steroids irritate the stomach lining in proportion to the dose.
• Watch sugar and refined carbohydrate closely during the course. Twenty milligrams of prednisolone raises blood glucose appreciably, and if you have diabetes you should test more frequently from the first day.
• Reduce salt for the duration. Prednisolone causes fluid retention, and cutting pickles, papads, packaged snacks and processed food limits the swelling and rise in blood pressure.
• Appetite typically increases within days. Planning meals and keeping snacks out of easy reach is more effective than trying to resist once the urge appears.
• Include protein sources such as dal, eggs, fish, chicken and paneer, and calcium from milk, curd and paneer, particularly if you have repeated courses.
• Limit alcohol, which adds to stomach irritation, sleep disturbance and raised blood sugar.
