Okay this is more of a warning than anything. I'm taking Prednisone for 5 days as well as Levaquin, an antibiotic. My doc warned me that I should not exercise while taking Levaquin, it can cause tendon ruptures. Neither he or my pharmacist told me that the major drug interaction between these two meds is that the Prednisone ups the risk of tendon ruptures, I looked that up after seeing the Levaquin warning label.
I'm posting because I realize Prednisone is a long-term platelet treatment (I'll never forget that one ) and if you are prescribed Levaquin in the meantime your regular doc or pharmacist may not put 2 and 2 together especially if you don't get the prescriptions filled at the same time.
On the upside I now have a bonafide excuse for avoiding my New Year's exercise resolution :whistle:
