• Please, Need Help/advice About Taking Large Dose Of Medrol To Prepare For Cat Scan.. Only Few Hours Left!?
|
I am a 35 year old man. I desperately need some advice. Hopefully from someone who's been through this.
I have a CAT scan tomorrow and I had an allergic reaction to contrast iodine. One side of my face became swollen.
I told my doctor and they prescribed Medrol(the generic) for me to take to prepare my body from having an allergic reaction.
I'm supposed to take 8 tablets(4mg each) 12 hours and then another 8 two hours before injection.
I'm really terrified of taking so many and the side effects it might have on my body.
I'm aware of the side effects, but to take such a heavy does scares me.
The pharmacist, nurse and doctor tell me that it's a standard dosage for what I need and that It might be rough on my stomach and get me wired/jittery for a couple of days.
The "wired" part scares me the most because I have an anxiety disorder and I've been given medicine before that made me wired and it was a nightmare!
I''m on ativan and lexapro and took an advil less than 24 hours ago. I don't know if interacting the drugs is something to be worried about also.
I'm also worried about how long it would last.
The CAT scan is very important to me.
Ugh!
Please help.

•Voting Question: Does taking Medrol along with other drugs or vitamins cause bad interactions?
|
I was given a dosage pack of Medrol to prep me so that I do not have an allergic reaction to contrast iodine for my CAT scan.
I have an anxiety disorder and I take 20mg of lexapro and 0.5 mg of ativan daily. I also drink a lot of gatorade and vitamin water. The vitamin water contains vitamin C, 10mg taurine, b3, b5, b6, b12, zinc and chromium not to mention electrolytes.
My question is: Will any of these meds and/or vitamins cause any complications when taking the medrol?
Thank you very much.
