According to MedlinePlus, “Prednisone is used alone or with other medications to treat the symptoms of low corticosteroid levels, as well as certain types of arthritis; severe allergic reactions; multiple sclerosis; lupus; and certain conditions that affect the lungs, skin, eyes, kidneys blood, thyroid, stomach, and intestines. Prednisone is also sometimes used to treat the symptoms of certain types of cancer.
Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works to treat patients with low levels of corticosteroids by replacing steroids that are normally produced naturally by the body. It works to treat other conditions by reducing swelling and redness and by changing the way the immune system works.”

Panafcort and Trolic - Are these 2 the same type of drug and can you use both together?
Panafcort 5mg was prescribed by my doctor and Trolic was given to me by my pharmacy.
