The
triamcinolone inhaler (
Azmacort®) can potentially interact with one other medication,
prednisone (Deltasone
®). Combining prednisone with the
triamcinolone inhaler may increase the risk of side effects. Talk to your healthcare provider before taking these medications together, especially on a regular basis.
There are many other drug interactions with triamcinolone (the active ingredient of the triamcinolone inhaler). However, since triamcinolone is inhaled directly into the lungs, blood levels of triamcinolone are usually low. Medications that would normally interact with injectable or oral triamcinolone are not likely to interact with the triamcinolone inhaler due to the low blood levels of triamcinolone. However, people taking a high dosage of the triamcinolone inhaler may have higher levels of triamcinolone (and may be more susceptible to drug interactions). Therefore, you should talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider about the specific drug interactions with triamcinolone inhalers that may apply to your situation.
