what doseage of prednisolone did he give you?

Also make sure to give pred mid meal as i give dd 1/2 food then med then 1/2 food that way the food protects the intestines a little and not as harsh on the tummy

Omeprazole (Prilosec®)

and yes the omeprazole is like pepcid ac/famotidine to keep acid down in stomach to prevent ulcers due to steroid use as i am sure he will have her on a very high dose of steroids to get this under control so he is trying to protect the stomach lining from getting ulcers which is good.
