Echinacea and Fluticasone nasal
Determining the interaction of Echinacea and Fluticasone nasal 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:Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.MONITOR: Coadministration with echinacea may alter the plasma concentrations and therapeutic effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. Echinacea appears to inhibit intestinal CYP450 3A4, which would lead to an increase in oral midazolam (a sensitive 3A4 substrate) bioavailability; however, plasma levels of midazolam following oral administration do not appear to be affected by echinacea. In contrast, it appears that echinacea may also induce hepatic CYP450 3A4; thereby increasing the hepatic clearance of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. According to reports, echinacea may increase the hepatic clearance of intravenous (IV) midazolam by 34% and decrease the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and half-life of IV midazolam by 20% and 42%, respectively. MANAGEMENT: In general, patients should be advised to consult their healthcare provider before using any herbal or alternative medicines. If echinacea is prescribed with a drug that is a CYP450 3A4 substrate, the possibility of an altered (increased or decreased) therapeutic response should be considered. Patients should be monitored more closely following the addition or withdrawal of echinacea and the dosage of the CYP450 3A4 substrate adjusted as necessary.
