Drug Interactions With Amcinonide
People who are receiving aldesleukin or corticorelin may not be able to use amcinonide, as these drug interactions may interfere with the effectiveness of the medications. To avoid these and other possible problems, talk to your healthcare provider before beginning treatment with amcinonide about all medications, supplements, and vitamins you are taking.
Amcinonide (Cyclocort®) is generally unlikely to react with other medications. However, there are a few potential drug interactions that may occur. Some of the products that can interfere with amcinonide include but are not limited to:
- Aldesleukin (Proleukin®)
- Corticorelin (Acthrel®).
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when amcinonide is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Aldesleukin
Corticosteroids, including amcinonide, can make aldesleukin (a chemotherapy medication) less effective. In general, these medications should not be used together.
Corticorelin
Corticosteroids, including amcinonide, can make corticorelin less effective. Corticorelin is used as a diagnostic agent in tests for Cushing's syndrome or other similar problems. If you are being tested for Cushing's disease, make sure your healthcare provider knows you have been using amcinonide.
It is possible that not all drug interactions with amcinonide were discussed in this article. Therefore, you should talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider about the specific interactions that may apply to you.
