Interactions between your drugs
cosyntropin budesonide
Applies to: cosyntropin and budesonide / formoterol / glycopyrrolate
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The accuracy of cosyntropin as a diagnostic agent in the screening of adrenocortical insufficiency may be impaired by concomitant use of glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids may falsely elevate plasma cortisol levels, which may lead to inaccurate results following the administration of cosyntropin.
MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of the potential for inaccurate results when administering a cosyntropin test to patients on concomitant therapy with glucocorticoids. Some authorities recommend withholding the glucocorticoid on the day of testing. Long-acting glucocorticoids may need to be withheld for a longer period before cosyntropin testing. Local protocols and/or the manufacturer's product labeling should be consulted for specific guidance.

If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment to safely take this combination. 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.
