Can I replace my nightly Cetrizine 5mg with Omnacortil 5mg twice a day after meals to help treat my ongoing constipation, mouth ulcers, and painful skin sores linked to my inflammatory bowel disease?

Do not swap your nightly cetirizine (Cetrizine) with prednisolone (Omnacortil) on your own. Cetirizine is an antihistamine, while prednisolone is a powerful steroid. While prednisolone can help treat painful skin sores and mouth ulcers linked to inflammatory bowel disease, it must only be taken under your doctor's strict guidance. Steroids require precise dosing and tapering to be safe. Please contact your gastroenterologist right away so they can safely prescribe the right treatment to help you find relief.
