Drug Interactions
Budesonide has not been observed to interact with any drug used for the treatment of rhinitis or asthma. The metabolism of budesonide is primarily mediated by CYP3A, a subfamily of CYP450. Inhibitors of this enzyme, e.g. Ketoconazole, can therefore increase systemic exposure to budesonide. However, the use of ketoconazole concomitant with Budesonide Aqueous Nasal Spray for shorter periods is of limited clinical importance. At recommended doses, cimetidine has a slight but clinically insignificant effect on the pharmacokinetics of oral budesonide.
