I've been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and my doctor suggested I take methyl prednisolone tablets. Is it safe for me to also use Nervijen and Etoshine tablets? I'm dealing with some heel pain too, so I'm just a bit concerned about mixing these meds. Can you advise?

Considering your Alopecia Areata diagnosis and the prescribed methylprednisolone, it's essential to exercise caution when adding new medications.

Nervijen Tab and Etoshine Tab

  1. Nervijen Tab: Typically used for anxiety and insomnia, it may interact with methylprednisolone, increasing the risk of adverse effects like dizziness, drowsiness, or stomach ulcers.
  2. Etoshine Tab: Usually prescribed for pain relief and inflammation, it may increase the risk of stomach ulcers, bleeding, or kidney damage when combined with methylprednisolone.

Safety Concerns

  1. Increased risk of side effects: Combining these medications may lead to adverse effects like stomach ulcers, bleeding, or increased blood sugar levels.
  2. Interactions with methylprednisolone: Nervijen Tab and Etoshine Tab may interact with methylprednisolone, reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.
