Allergic Reactions
"I&#039;m taking Prednisone as follow up to being hospitalized for pneumonia a couple of weeks ago. I was also taking an antibiotic, Clindamycin, when I developed hives. I immediately thought it was the Clindamycin because I&#039;m allergic to Neosporin (Neomycin) &amp; stopped taking it 4 days ago. I waited for the rash to clear, but it hasn&#039;t. Then I thought, &quot;why do I have an allergic reaction to something when I&#039;m taking a steroid?&quot; Bingo! Looked up side effects of Prednisone and there is was: rare reaction of hives. Looked it up just right after I took my 2nd half-tablet. No more Prednisone for me!"
