Any pharmacists about? Help with Prednisolone

[lornathewizzard]

DD 3yrs old has been prescribed Prednisolone 5mg soluble tablets for Croup (doc said didn’t seem severe but would prescribe as a precaution)

Was reading the leaflet and it says not to take if you have recently had any live vaccinations. DD has the flu vaccine nasal spray 10 days ago. Is this ‘recently ‘?? Not sure whether to give it now.
Thanks

call the telephone number in the leaflet.

The only number on it doesn’t work

It suppresses the immune system so means the vaccines aren't as effectively taken up. It's quite a low dose and it's only the flu vaccine so it's probably ok

Ok thank you

You could ask 111?

• disclaimer. I am not a medic or a pharmacist!!

this seems to suggest that it's ok

Its fine to give both. We had this question come up at work and spoke to the paed pharmacist to looked into it and said its ok to take.

Thanks everyone, DD has had them and is hopefully on the up (fingers crossed)
