I am on 15 mg of Prednisone- 10 in the am & 5 in pm. I wonder if it is okay to take Tylenol Arthritis with it, on days that I feel more discomfort?

Yes it is fine to take Tylenol arthritis formula. Just don’t go near any of the NSAIDS like ibuprofen or naproxen as these do not mix well will prednisone and would cause stomach upset or worse! ☹️
I personally use Tylenol ES , 500 mg rapid release capsule ( 2 capsules) because of the quick release feature, but I think the arthritis formula might be a little stronger.
As always, check with your doctor to be sure! Good luck!

Tylenol Arthritis (acetaminophen) is the same thing as Australia's Panadol Osteo (paracetamol), which my doctor said is okay to take with Prednisone. They are not NSAIDS (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) which are not good to take with prednisone. Ask your doctor to be sure, but my doctor has recommended I take the Panadol Osteo as needed, which isn't very often.
