Budesonide Inhalation Powder and Ciprofloxacin Injection Concentrate
Determining the interaction of Budesonide Inhalation Powder and Ciprofloxacin Injection Concentrate and the possibility of their joint administration.
In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Ciprofloxacin may increase the absorption of the medication from budesonide into the blood stream. In some cases, this can increase side effects such as swelling, weight gain, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, muscle weakness, depression, acne, thinning skin, stretch marks, easy bruising, bone density loss, cataracts, menstrual irregularities, excessive growth of facial or body hair, and abnormal distribution of body fat, especially in the face, neck, back, and waist. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Other side effects that may occur include decreased ability to fight infections, increased risk of developing infections, and inadequate response to stress such as infection, surgery, trauma, or a severe asthma attack. Children may experience a reduced growth rate due to excessive effects of budesonide. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the systemic bioavailability of budesonide, which undergoes extensive first-pass and systemic metabolism via intestinal and hepatic CYP450 3A4. In pharmacokinetic studies, 6- to 8-fold increases in budesonide systemic exposure (AUC) have been observed during coadministration of the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole with different oral formulations of budesonide. When ketoconazole was administered 12 hours after budesonide in one study, the AUC increase was approximately half that reported during simultaneous administration. In a prospective study of a cystic fibrosis center patient population, 11 of 25 patients receiving high-dose itraconazole (400 to 600 mg/day) and budesonide oral inhalation therapy (800 to 1600 mcg/day) were found to have adrenal insufficiency, including one who developed Cushing's syndrome, compared to none in a group of 12 patients treated with itraconazole alone. There was also no adrenal insufficiency in a group of 30 cystic fibrosis patients retrospectively included as controls, 24 of whom had been treated with high-dose inhaled budesonide for several years. Adrenal function improved, but did not normalize, in 10 of the 11 patients during a follow-up of two to ten months after discontinuation of itraconazole and institution of hydrocortisone replacement therapy. Limited pharmacokinetic data indicate that itraconazole (200 mg once daily) may increase the plasma levels of budesonide by about 4-fold following inhalation of a single 1000 mcg dose, which may be mainly due to increased bioavailability of the swallowed portion of the dose.
MANAGEMENT: The possibility of increased systemic adverse effects of budesonide should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, the dosing times between budesonide and the CYP450 3A4 inhibitor should be separated by as much as possible. In addition, the lowest effective dosage of budesonide should be prescribed, and further adjustments made as necessary according to therapeutic response and tolerance. Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of hypercorticism such as acne, striae, thinning of the skin, easy bruising, moon facies, dorsocervical "buffalo" hump, truncal obesity, increased appetite, acute weight gain, edema, hypertension, hirsutism, hyperhidrosis, proximal muscle wasting and weakness, glucose intolerance, exacerbation of preexisting diabetes, depression, and menstrual disorders. Other systemic glucocorticoid effects may include adrenal suppression, immunosuppression, posterior subcapsular cataracts, glaucoma, bone loss, and growth retardation in children and adolescents.
