Interactions between your drugs
budesonide deferasirox
Applies to: budesonide and deferasirox
MONITOR: Concomitant use of orally and rectally administered formulations of budesonide with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease budesonide systemic as well as local exposure at the gut mucosa. Budesonide undergoes extensive first-pass and systemic metabolism via intestinal and hepatic CYP450 3A4. Although clinical and pharmacokinetic data are currently lacking, such an interaction may impact the therapeutic efficacy of budesonide in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of orally and rectally administered budesonide should be considered during concomitant treatment with drugs that induce CYP450 3A4. Alternative treatments or budesonide dose adjustments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions
budesonide food
Applies to: budesonide
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations and systemic effects of orally administered budesonide. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. According to the manufacturer, the systemic exposure of oral budesonide approximately doubles after extensive intake of grapefruit juice.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving budesonide should avoid the regular consumption of grapefruits and grapefruit juice to prevent undue increases in plasma budesonide levels and systemic effects.

deferasirox food
Applies to: deferasirox
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: According to product labeling, the bioavailability of deferasirox was variably increased when taken with a meal.
MANAGEMENT: To ensure consistent plasma drug levels, deferasirox should be taken on an empty stomach 30 minutes before eating preferably at the same time everyday.
