Interaction between Voriconazole and Ciclesonide (nasal)
Moderate
Metabolism
| ID | DDInter1946 and DDInter376 |
| Interaction | Coadministration of inhaled ciclesonide with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase systemic bioavailability of the pharmacologically active metabolite, des-ciclesonide, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. |
| Management | Caution is advised if ciclesonide is prescribed with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Alternatively, a less potent, less lipophilic, and/or shorter-acting agent such as beclomethasone may be considered. Beclomethasone is also less dependent on CYP450 3A4 metabolism. Patients should be monitored for systemic glucocorticoid effects including symptoms of hypercorticism (e.g., acne, easy bruising, moon face, edema, hirsutism, buffalo hump, skin striae, irregular menstruations), adrenal suppression (which reduces patient's ability to respond to stress situations), immunosuppression, osteoporosis, glucose intolerance, and exacerbation of diabetes mellitus. |

Potential Metabolism Interactions
Substrate-Substrate Interaction：If more than one drug is metabolized by the same CYP, it is possible that its metabolism is inhibited because of the competition between the drugs. That means, it can be useful to lower the dosage of the drugs in the drug-cocktail because they remain longer in the organism than in monotherapy.
Inhibitor-Inhibitor Interaction：Combining two or more inhibitors of one CYP, should be compensated by lowering the dosage of these drugs because the metabolism is reduced and the drugs remain longer in the organism than in monotherapy. Not adapting the dosage bears the risk of even more side effects.
Inhibitor-Substrate Interaction：Combining drugs that have inhibitory effect and are substrates of one particular CYP, should be compensated by lowering the dosage. They rest longer in the organism than in monotherapy. Not adapting the dosage bears the risk of even more side effects.
