Interactions between your drugs

Major

desmopressin budesonide

Applies to: desmopressin and Uceris (budesonide)

Using desmopressin together with budesonide may increase the risk of hyponatremia, a condition associated with low levels of salt in the blood. In severe cases, hyponatremia can lead to seizures, coma, and even death. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. You should seek medical attention if you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, headache, lethargy, irritability, difficulty concentrating, memory impairment, confusion, muscle spasm, weakness, unsteadiness, decreased urination, and/or sudden weight gain, as these may be symptoms of water intoxication and hyponatremia. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to help prevent progression to more serious and life-threatening complications. 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.
