In fact, both these drugs may cause gastric irritation. When taken together the effect will be still more. So better take them once a week, but on different days like one on Sunday. Another on Monday. But remember, Medrol if taken for long without the guidance of the doctor can be detrimental. So, better be monitored by your treating consultant.
