Does prednisolone interact with Oroxine for Hashimotos hypothyroidism?

I've been told to go on prednisolone for 3 months or so in order to bring down my slightly elevated liver enzymes. I am worried that the prednisolone might react with the oroxine therapy which I am taking daily for my Hashimotos hypothyroidism. The amount of prednisolone is 25mg per day for 1 week, then 10 mg per day for 2 weeks, then 7.5mg per day for 4 weeks, then 5 mg per day until i see the doctor in 3 months time. The liver doctor has also put me on ursodeoxycholic acid tablets 1 tablet two times a day.  I don't want to start on the prednisolone therapy unless it is absolutely necessary & I don't know if it goes with oroxine. I'm concerned about the effects on my health.

If you are worried about the interaction of any of your medications, you should take the full list down to the pharmacist. I take thyroid meds and a steroid daily though with no issue.
As long as the steroids taper, which the packs does, it should be fine...
