Anyone ever been told to take vitamin A along with prednisone? I know its supposed to counteract the inhibitory effect of steroids on wound healing, but I was worried that it would counter-act the anti-inflammatory effects as well.

My gi doc prescribed vit A 10,000 iu daily for a while. He said it was for my heart.

I've never heard of that one. I've always just been told the standard calcium and vit D.

Was that with prednisone or on its own?

no, i was not on prednisone at the time but i was started on entocort.

i don't think there was a relation besides the fact that vitamin A is beneficial for UC patients.
