The action of insulin, oral hypoglycemic and hypotensive drugs, as well as oral anticoagulants (coumarin derivatives) may be weakened by the simultaneous use of prednisone.
Glucocorticosteroids can reduce the concentration of salicylates and praziquantel in the blood.
Inductors of enzymes (barbiturates, phenytoin, primidon, rifampicin) can reduce the effect of glucocorticosteroids.
Hormonal contraceptives, estrogens can enhance the clinical effect of prednisone.
With simultaneous use of prednisone and atropine or other M-holinoblokatorov, as well as antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants and nitrates may increase intraocular pressure.
Increase the risk of side effects of glucocorticosteroids:
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (erosive-ulcerative lesions and bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract);
- androgens, estrogens, oral contraceptives, steroid anabolics (hirsutism, acne);
- antipsychotic drugs, carbutamide, azathioprine (cataract);
- Diuretics and laxatives (hypokalemia);
- cardiac glycosides (digitalis intoxication).
In the case of simultaneous use with ACE inhibitors, changes in the blood formula are possible.
Possible weakening of the action of growth hormone.
Chlorokhin, hydroxychloroquine, mefloquine - increased risk of myopathies and cardiomyopathies.
Cyclosporine is an increased risk of cerebral cramps.
