Harvoni and Prednisone
« on: February 02, 2015, 12:48:46 pm »
God is good!! Receiving my Harvoni tomorrow via fe-Ex. So excited and blessed.
I have one question, has anyone taken Harvoni and been on prednisone as well. I take 40mg of prednisone daily- non dose reduction pak. My pyhscian stated no worries, cant find anything online. Just wanted to check and see if anyone is on predinsone during treatment.

Thank you

should be OK, although I personally don't have experience with this, I know others who did fine.

GAman,

I was on prednisone until the day before I started Harvoni due to transplant.  I quit taking it one week early.  Was supposed to be on it for a year.  I believe I still had some in my blood stream and didn't experience any issues.  Believe it should be OK
