Here is the problem with Tylenol products: they may reduce prednisone reduction pain somewhat but not inflammation.
My PCP said if you must continue with NSAID’s (ex. Ibuprofen) for pain relief, to also take Prilosec (acid reducer) twice weekly to prevent gastritis. But definitely do not use NSAID’s indefinitely.
