A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Use of other orally inhaled products can sometimes affect the absorption of inhaled insulin into the bloodstream. In addition, medications like levalbuterol can increase blood sugar and worsen diabetes in some people. If you use inhaled insulin with other orally inhaled medications, you should keep the timing of their dosing consistent relative to each other on a daily basis and monitor your blood glucose closely. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions on how to use these medications properly. 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:ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Bronchodilators and other orally inhaled products may alter the absorption of inhaled human insulin. In nondiabetic subjects with mild asthma (n=36) and moderate asthma (n=31), administration of albuterol 30 minutes prior to inhaled human insulin resulted in a mean increase in insulin systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 25% to 50% compared to administration of inhaled human insulin alone.
MONITOR: Systemic administration or systemic absorption of orally inhaled corticosteroids and sympathomimetic amines (bronchodilators) may result in diminished efficacy of insulin. These drugs may interfere with blood glucose control because they can cause hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, new-onset diabetes mellitus, and/or exacerbation of preexisting diabetes.
MANAGEMENT: Consistent timing of dosing of other inhaled products relative to inhaled human insulin administration is recommended. Blood glucose should be monitored closely, and the insulin dose adjusted accordingly.
