Applies to: Pulmicort Respules (budesonide) and Vaxchora (cholera vaccine, live)

It is not known whether immunosuppressed patients may have an increased risk of adverse reactions or a decreased or suboptimal immunologic response to the vaccine.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

budesonide food

Applies to: Pulmicort Respules (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.
