Skin allergy test question

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I go in on July 20 for skin prick allergy tests. Does Prednisone mess up

the results? They told me when I made the appointment that it didn't but I

don't want to go down there on the 20th only to find out that my 15mg/day

Pred. is a problem... I already have been suffering enough without the

Claritin (they told me I could be off it for 5 days - but I read somewhere

on the internet that it could take up to 30 days to clear antihistamines

from the body). Oh, also, does Pepcid AC interfere with allergy tests?

It's an H2 blocker, so not sure if it matters much.

Thanks,
