Drug Interactions between Adrenocot and boceprevir

Talk to your doctor before using boceprevir together with dexAMETHasone. Combining these medications may decrease the blood levels of boceprevir, which may reduce its effectiveness in treating hepatitis C. At the same time, boceprevir may cause the blood levels of dexAMETHasone to increase. You may be more likely to experience side effects of dexAMETHasone such as swelling, weight gain, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, muscle weakness, depression, acne, thinning skin, stretch marks, easy bruising, bone density loss, cataracts, menstrual irregularities, excessive growth of facial or body hair, and abnormal distribution of body fat, especially in the face, neck, back, and waist. Other side effects that may occur include decreased ability to fight infections, increased risk of developing infections, and inadequate response to stress such as infection, surgery, trauma, or a severe asthma attack. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
