Although evidence is mixed, steroids may affect the body\u2019s response to warfarin. If you take warfarin and need to take a steroid like dexamethasone, your healthcare provider will monitor you more frequently while you take this combination of medications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This potential interaction does not apply to newer blood thinners like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliquis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (apixaban) or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xarelto<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (rivaroxaban).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"macrolide-antibiotics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Macrolide antibiotics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Macrolide antibiotics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are a class of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">antibiotics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> used to treat certain bacterial infections. When combined with dexamethasone, these antibiotics affect how the body processes dexamethasone. As a result, higher levels of dexamethasone can occur in the body, which can cause worsened or serious side effects. If you take dexamethasone and need an antibiotic, your healthcare provider may decide to prescribe an antibiotic from a different class of drugs. Examples of macrolide antibiotics that may interact with dexamethasone include clarithromycin and erythromycin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"diabetes-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes medications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steroids like dexamethasone can increase <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blood sugar levels<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Consult your healthcare provider for medical advice on dosage recommendations if you have to take dexamethasone. Your provider may advise you to take a slightly higher dose while you are taking dexamethasone.

Combining an NSAID with dexamethasone can increase the potential risk of these side effects\u2014including stomach bleeding, perforation, and ulcers of the GI tract. If you take an NSAID and your healthcare provider recommends taking dexamethasone, you may need to switch to a medication that is not an NSAID, such as Tylenol (acetaminophen).

Certain drugs can affect this enzyme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, CYP3A inducers can speed up the processing of dexamethasone in the body. This means your body eliminates the medication faster, so the usual dose may be less effective. If you take dexamethasone in combination with a CYP3A inducer, you may need a higher dose of dexamethasone. Some examples of CYP3A inducers include phenobarbital, Dilantin (phenytoin), Tegretol (carbamazepine), and rifampin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, CYP3A inhibitors slow down the processing of dexamethasone in the body. This could result in higher dexamethasone levels in the body and worsening of adverse effects. Because there are many potential serious side effects of steroids, your healthcare provider may recommend an alternative treatment that does not combine interacting drugs. If there is no other alternative, and you have to take dexamethasone with a CYP3A inhibitor, your healthcare provider may prescribe a lower dose of dexamethasone. Examples of CYP3A inhibitors include <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">antifungals<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as itraconazole and ketoconazole and the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">antiretroviral<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> medication ritonavir.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"live-vaccines\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live vaccines<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who take a steroid, like dexamethasone, should not receive a live or live attenuated vaccine.
