Can I still give Marshall artemisinin even though he's on prednisone?

This question is really best suited for veterinary experts to answer, so we have moved it here to the Ask A Vet forum. Please consult with your vet if you don't receive replies, or whenever you have concerns about medication interactions.

Yes, they can be given together. Prednisone can sometimes elevate liver enzymes and artemisinin is metabolized through the liver so if the prednisone is a long-term thing then you might consider having his liver enzymes checked. I gave artemisinin to Tazzie even though she had a chronic liver problem and it never caused her any problems. I think it is pretty safe.
